[Population-related and individual prevention. Strategies and effectiveness].
In the German health system up to now prevention takes only a marginal position. To tap the full preventive potential in future population-based and risk group-strategies must be systematically extended, combined with individual strategies in clinical preventive medicine and integrated in health care. This report gives international and national examples for these strategies and shows that such preventive programmes could be effective as well cost-effective.
