What is Prevention Science?

Prevention Science is like teaching your friend how to avoid tripping on the stairs before they even take a step.

Prevention Science is all about helping people stay healthy and happy by stopping problems before they start, just like you might teach your little brother to tie his shoes so he doesn’t fall over in the hallway.

Imagine you have a lemonade stand, and you know it rains every Tuesday. Instead of crying when the rain comes, you bring an umbrella, that’s prevention! Prevention Science is like being the smartest kid in class who knows what might happen next and gets ready for it.

It's not just about avoiding trouble, it helps people live better lives. If you learn to brush your teeth every day, you won’t have to go to the dentist as much. That’s prevention in action! It’s like having a superhero power that lets you see problems coming and stop them before they can hurt you.
