How good is the Prevent model for estimating the health benefits of prevention?

Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review

Prevent is a public health model for estimating the effect on mortality of changes in exposure to risk factors. When the model is tested by simulating a development that has already taken place, the results may differ considerably from the actual situation. The purpose of this study is to test the Prevent model by applying it to a synthetic cohort in which the development is unaffected by concealed factors.
