| Annotation | There has been growing policy emphasis on prevention and promotion of independence for older people. The Nuffield Institute's Community Care Division has been involved in a research project commission ed by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) and Anchor Trust on behalf of the National Preventative Task Group. The purpose of the research has been to explore how far local authorities and health authorities are developing preventive strategies and services for older people. The research and associated systematic review of the research literature are published in "Preventive strategies for older people: mapping the literature on effectiveness and outcomes" (Anchor Trust, 1999). Using work of colleagues in the research team and the associated mapping of literature carried by Mary Godfrey, this article explores the policy context in which prevention is being developed and the extent to which authorities have begun to develop preventive strategies and services.
