Prevention, by definition is the act of preventing something from occurring. Research has shown that prevention programming can reduce the future occurrence of a given problem. Prevention programs typically rely on education about the issue to reduce future incidence. Education is a powerful tool for prevention. However, it is only one tool along a continuum of services required to make large scale changes.
