Put Prevention Into Practice (PPIP) is a national campaign to improve the delivery of clinical preventive services such as screening tests, immunizations, and counseling for health behavior change. Central to that effort is the Clinician's Handbook of Preventive Services (2nd Edition, 1998). The following excerpts present practical instructions for incorporating prevention into office and clinic routines.
