Description:"This publication focuses on birth defects and human immunodeficiency virus infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), two preventable causes of death and disability. The articles focus on programs in several states that are designed to reduce disease and assess disease trends. The primary messages are not new, but need to be reinforced. Science-based prevention efforts must be communicated in a timely and effective manner, whether to a woman making a decision for herself or others, to a health-care professional making decisions regarding patient care, or to a researcher classifying new cases of HIV/AIDS. Communication plays a key role in prevention; this publication communicates public health recommendations that reflect recent research affecting the health of women. Prevention means staying healthy and living well, and prevention works for women." - p. i
