Outcomes of Preventive Health Programs: Evaluating the long-term economic benefits of preventive health programs, including vaccination campaigns, wellness initiatives, and early screening programs

Abstract: Preventive health programs, including vaccination campaigns, wellness initiatives, and early screening programs, are critical for improving public health and reducing healthcare costs. This paper evaluates the long-term economic benefits of these programs through comprehensive analysis. The study employs cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) to assess various preventive health measures. Findings reveal that vaccination campaigns, such as the measles vaccination, demonstrate high benefit-cost ratios, while wellness initiatives yield substantial returns on investment, and early screening programs are cost-effective in terms of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) saved. The analysis underscores the significant economic and health benefits of preventive health programs, advocating for continued investment and policy support to achieve sustainable healthcare systems and enhance population health globally.

Keywords: Preventive health programs, vaccination campaigns, wellness initiatives, early screening programs, economic benefits, cost-benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), public health, healthcare costs, return on investment (ROI).
