Preventive interventions are focused on reducing incidence, that is, the number of new episodes of major depression. Prevention advocates have long pointed out that, when the prevalence of a disorder is very high, treatment approaches are not sufficient (Albee, 1985). It is therefore imperative to develop effective preventive interventions for such

In controlled trials conducted by the Public Health Service in ordinary clinical and public health settings, isoniazid preventive therapy reduced the incidence of disease by 54%-88% (2). The main reason for the variation in efficacy appears to have been the amount of medication actually taken during the year in which isoniazid was prescribed.

As a result, the incidence of dental caries was 14.8% versus 21.3% in nearby Kingston, NY, which was non-fluoridated. Thus, the preventive fraction was (21.3-14.8)/21.3 = 30.5%, indicating that about 30% of the caries that would have occurred in Newburgh were prevented by fluoridation.

Reducing the incidence of CDI is a significant contribution to social change as this unwanted complication of hospitalization causes discomfort and pain and adds

Available treatment methods have shown little effect on the burden associated with mental health disorders. We review promising universal, selective, and indicated preventive mental health strategies that might reduce the incidence of mental health disorders, or shift expected trajectories to less debilitating outcomes. Some of these interventions also seem to be cost-effective.

In epidemiology, preventable fraction among the unexposed (PFu), is the proportion of incidents in the unexposed group that could be prevented by exposure.It is calculated as = (−) / = −, where is the incidence in the exposed group, is the incidence in the unexposed group, and is the relative risk. It is a synonym of the relative risk reduction.. It is used when an exposure reduces the ...

Incidence measures new occurrences of a disease in a population over a period of time. It gives you an indication of the risk of contracting a disease. In order to focus on new occurrences, you start by looking at a population that does not have the disease, and then follow it over time to count the number of people who get the disease.
