Pope AM, Tarlov AR, eds. 1991. Disability in America: Toward a national agenda for prevention—Full report, summary and recommendations. Washington, DC: National Academy Press, 376 pp., summ. (52 pp.).

Annotation: This book provides a follow-up to the Institute of Medicine's report "Injury in America" released in 1985. It describes a comprehensive approach to disability prevention. Included are developmental disability, disabilities caused by injury, chronic disease and aging, and secondary conditions arising from primary disabling conditions. It presents a five-prong strategy (organization and coordination within and between the public and private sectors, surveillance, research, access to medical care, and education) for reducing the incidence and prevalence of disability as well as its personal, social, and economic consequences. The summary provides an overview of the full report.
