Powerful examples of effective prevention often involve public policy. For example, increasing the legal drinking age to 21 has saved tens of thousands of lives since it was enacted. Eliminating lead based paint, and lead based fuels, have reduced lead poisoning, thereby improving child cognitive and behavioral outcomes tremendously.
