On 6/13/12, U.S. Surgeon General Regina M. Benjamin, MD, released the “National Prevention Council Action Plan: Implementing the National Prevention Strategy​.” Authorized by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Plan calls for creating healthy and safe community environments; ensuring that prevention-focused health care and community prevention efforts are available, integrated, and mutually reinforcing; supporting people in making healthy choices; and eliminating health disparities. The plan provides evidence-based recommendations that have the greatest potential to reduce the leading causes of preventable death and major illness including tobacco free living; preventing drug abuse and excessive alcohol use; healthy eating; active living; injury and violence-free living; reproductive and sexual health; and mental and emotional well-being.
