[Model of a prevention plan at the canton level].

With the "Leitbild-83", the Swiss Society of Social and Preventive Medicine (SSSPM) has introduced health promotion and prevention at the federal level. In 1984, a Federal Act on Prevention has been refused by almost all Cantons; the SSSPM therefore decided to develop a new framework for prevention that could be used at the Canton level. This model should help politics and specialized people to develop their own plan within this conceptual and practical framework.
