The challenges to preventive medicine in the next quarter century are as great as the opportunities they present. As a first step we need to agree that, despite the importance of improving medical care, our first priority must be the prevention of illness. On this basis we should proceed to formulate specific goals and means to achieve those goals. This task seems reasonably divisible into two categories: (1) the application of existing knowledge and the evaluation of those applications; and (2) the needs for new knowledge and new programs.
在未来四分之一个世纪里，预防医学面临的挑战与它所带来的机遇一样巨大。作为第一步，我们需要达成共识，即尽管改善医疗护理很重要，但我们的首要任务必须是预防疾病。在此基础上，我们应着手制定具体目标以及实现这些目标的方法。这项任务似乎可以合理地分为两类：（1）现有知识的应用及对这些应用的评估；（2）新知识和新项目的需求。
