1. Prevention• Reduce the incidence of health problems
(primary prevention) health problems only?• Reduce the progression of health problems
(secondary prevention) covers almost all of health care activity
• Reduce the impacts of disease (tertiary prevention)
• Reduce unnecessary health interventions (quarternary prevention)

• Reduce unnecessary health interventions (quarternary prevention)
A whistlestop tour around some concepts
An alternative1. Prevention of the onset or first manifestation of
a disease process, or some other first occurrence, through risk reduction
2. Prevention of the progression of a disease process or other unwanted state, through early detection when this favourably affects outcome
3. Prevention of avoidable complications of a health problem or other unwanted state
4. Prevention of the recurrence of an illness or other unwanted phenomenon.
A whistlestop tour around some concepts
Preventative spend• Spending now that is expected to reduce
public spending demands in the future by reducing avoidable health and social problems
• Must increase healthy lifespan/compress morbidity
• Wanless: requirement for ‘fully engaged’ scenario

Wellness
Aaron AntonovskyAaron Antonovsky Sir Harry Burns
“.....expresses the extent to which one has a feeling of confidence that the stimuli deriving from one's internal and external environments in the course of living are structured, predictable and explicable, that one has the internal resources to meet the demands posed by these stimuli and, finally, that these demands are seen as challenges, worthy of investment and engagement."

Summary• Scotland’s health ranking is a relatively recent
phenomenon, and reflects a slower rate of improvement than other countries
• The outcomes for (young) working age men and women are particularly concerning
• For many causes of death, Scotland’s improvement is in line with other countries
• But ‘social dis-eases’ are increasing • Inequalities are also increasing• There is a lot of evidence (and more emerging all the
time) that traditional explanations of socio-economic deprivation (underpinned by effects of post-industrial decline) are not sufficient.
How do we respond?
1. Programmatically on individual issues?
• The most common response
• Evidence-based and often with a clear method
• Positive outcomes for (a proportion of) participants
• Tends to increase inequality
• Rarely achieves population-level impact
• Need to respond to each new issue afresh

-70 -60 -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70
2. Through national policyon individual issues?
• Smoking in public places• Alcohol minimum pricing• Screening and immunisation programmes• Housing quality standards• Social protection• School meal standards
• Less likely to increase inequality• More likely to achieve population-level impact• But still need to respond to each new issue afresh
3. On the cross-cutting determinants operating at individual & community
levels?• Fundamental influences that perpetuate
poorer health outcomes, regardless of the issue– Power distribution– Knowledge– Social networks– Access to (financial and other) resources
• Asset-based working
