Policy issues in primary prevention

Abstract

The author identifies and analyzes three basic policy issues that pose limits to the practice of primary prevention in social work. These issues are the identification of clients, the unanticipated consequences of intervention, and the profession's capacity to implement primary prevention. They suggest that a gap remains between the idea of primary prevention and its reality as a basic function of social work.
