title: New Jersey health promotion and disease prevention initiative.
abstract: Health promotion is a major component of the rhetoric about health care reform at a national level. However, it is likely that the benefit packages included in any congressional legislation will be limited and unsatisfactory, thus compelling the states to take the lead. New Jersey is the first state to enact a comprehensive health promotion and disease prevention law; this legislation has the potential to change medical practice in the state.
