Public health guidance
Public health guidance makes recommendations for populations and individuals on activities, policies and strategies that can help prevent disease or improve health. The guidance may focus on a particular topic (such as smoking), a particular population (such as schoolchildren) or a particular setting (such as the workplace).
Guidance produced by other NICE guidance programmes occasionally makes recommendations that could improve health or prevent disease. See the full list of NICE guidance that makes public health recommendations.
