Reasons given for the lack of emphasis on prevention in clinical practice and lack of financial investment in prevention include provider uncertainty about which clients should receive services and at what intervals,lack of information about preventive services,negative attitudes about the importance of preventive care,lack of time for delivery of preventive services,delayed or absent feedback regarding success of preventive measures,less reimbursement for these services than for curative services,lack of organization to deliver preventive services,and lack of use of services by the poor and elderly.Considering how health care dollars are spent in the U.S.,it would not be reasonable to lobby for decreased funding for secondary and tertiary services,as this would result in less care available for individuals.Requiring people to change their lifestyle would be illegal.
