Lifetime Prevention Schedule

The Lifetime Prevention Schedule (LPS) looks at clinical prevention services for British Columbians. These include screening, behavioral interventions and preventive medications provided by a health-care provider, based on age and sex. The LPS reports show priorities for these services in B.C. based on each service’s clinical effectiveness, population health impact and cost effectiveness.

This report also includes an updated model for promotion of breastfeeding, as well as two evidence updates: screening and interventions for intimate partner violence in females of reproductive age, and obesity screening and management in children and youth.
