Based on these findings, vaccination for pandemic influenza may be cost-effective even at low prevention rates.
For rotavirus, the WHO/SAGE decision-making factors for vaccine deployment appear to have all been met: the disease burden is great, the vaccine-related risk is low, prevention in this setting is more feasible than treatment, the vaccine duration is probably sufficient for the vulnerable period of the child's life, cost is reasonable, and herd immunity is possible [ 60].
Concerning in vitro antibacterial activity, particularly low mutant prevention concentrations of PRA suggest a high potential for preventing the emergence of resistance under therapy (Wetzstein 2005).
Freshman were randomly assigned to either (1) a low LR based prevention group (LRB group), which watched four 45-minute Internet-based videos that included, in addition to prevention messages, information on how low LR to alcohol may promote heavy drinking; or (2) a non-LRB comparison group, which saw the same prevention messages without the LR framework.
This methodologic approach may interest health planners as it draws attention to local factors other than socioeconomic ones which may be important when developing local strategies for low birthweight prevention.
To counter dengue fever, she worked with data from 230 patients to further explore how basic low-cost prevention measures, such as good nutrition, can limit the impact and burden of the disease.
Then they can make money not on the volume of care, but on the difference between what we pay them and the cost of keeping us healthy (including necessary procedures but also low-cost prevention measures).
Most of these lives could be saved through low-cost prevention and treatment interventions.
"The remaining 70 per cent can be efficiently reduced via low-cost prevention measures, such as community sanitation and hygiene".
19 Its mission is to focus on the development of low-cost prevention programmes and their implications for research, and to combine social influence approaches with generic social competence approaches.
It would be very useful from a public health and safety perspective if there were low-cost prevention, intervention, and treatment strategies to deploy easily reducing the need for more expensive strategies that might not be possible to field where money and resources are scarce.
