Abstract

There are even too many books, magazines, and articles dedicated to prevention that involve the latest scientific findings, prejudices and commercial interests. The aim of this prevention column article is to critically analyse, in this overwhelming material, what is true, false or blatant propaganda, setting off the successful experiences with sometimes modest resources and without sophisticated technology. The goal is to promote synergy among potential players of prevention, as prevention is everyone's business: starting from international organisms, through institutional entities, and ending with families.
