The goal of the Prevent project was to devise a tool for policy makers to use epidemiologic data on the relationship between risk factors and diseases, to estimate the effect on the health of a population of changes in risk factor prevalence, either autonomous or through interventions. These effect estimates can either be used directly in policy making for instance to set realistic targets, or serve as input for formal priority setting exercises such as cost effectiveness analyses.
