Excerpt

The Clinician's Handbook of Preventive Services, a practical and comprehensive guide to clinical preventive services, is the cornerstone of the Put Prevention Into Practice (PPIP) initiative. The goal of PPIP, which was developed by the US Public Health Service's Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, is to enhance the delivery of clinical preventive services. This handbook discusses screening tests for early detection of disease, immunizations and prophylaxis to prevent disease, and counseling to modify risk factors that lead to disease.
