Abstract
For anyone in a position to decide which programs should be continued or enhanced, which should be discontinued, and which new programs should be adopted, the issue should eventually come down to cost and effectiveness. Key questions include: What will specific programs cost to implement or continue in this specific setting? Are we prepared to implement such programs? How effective will they be with the population we have in mind? Do we have the infrastructure to support them? Answers to these questions now come in three distinct categories: brand name, generic, and principles.
