Abstract

In this Second Institute, as with the First, the aim \vas to recognize that questions of the effectiveness of preventive measures can be answered only through careful and comprehensive research in a variety of disciplines. Hence this rep ort may be considered as the second in a series devoted to a complex and significant problem. The statement of purposes, which follows in Chapter I, re-emphasizes the idea that there are many aspects to the problem of prevention. The statement was prepared, well in advance of the meetings and sent to all invited participants. In addition, each of the five speakers ,vho prepared the formal papers for the various sessions supplied in advance a brief outline and list of suggested readmgs for respective panel members.
