Understanding the causes and solutions to child obesity.

Why is there so much childhood obesity? What health risks does obesity pose?

What are the key differences from how the US healthcare system utilizes preventitive services and what have been the key drivers in the shift towards prevention?

I am trying to understand how/why the healthcare system has shifted more towards preventitive services in the past 25 years. Particuarly, how have cost of services rising, insurance, governemnt regulation, the aging population and chronic disease influences this? I am trying to fit this idea into an essay i am working on and dont understand what took place to change our orientation to prevention during these 25 years. (I do understand during 1900-2000) thanks!

Public health and Prevention

I am examining the change in emphasis from treatment to prevention in the US health care system during the last 25 years. I am confused about where public health measures and prevention intersect? In many ways arent the one in the same? If someone could help me to understand the differences (if there are difference) and how prevention with respect to healthcare evolved it would be really helpful. Also, what the secondary and tertiary prevention? are drugs in some cases considered preventitive medicine? I have read conflicting reports. could OTA 103280 not repsond. thanks
