What happens during risk factor identification?
| | | | |
is where informatics investigate factors, environmental or personal behaviors,

| | | |
examine data from the past help guide proposed interventions
| | | | | | | |
, Implementation is |
putting the solution into action
| | | |

prevention effectiveness, epidemiology, laboratory, informatics, surveillance
| | | | |
What does prevention effectiveness do?
| | | |
Provides economic information for decision makers to assist them in selecting the
| | | | | | | | | | |
best solutions.
| |
