The Global Spine Care Initiative: public health and prevention interventions for common spine disorders in low- and middle-income communities

ConclusionPrevention principles and health promotion strategies were identified that were incorporated in the GSCI care pathway. Interventions should encourage healthy behaviors of individuals and promote public health interventions that are most likely to optimize physical and psychosocial health targeting the unique characteristics of each community. Prevention interventions that are implemented in medically underserved areas should be based upon best evidence, resource availability, and selected through group decision-making processes by individuals and the community.Graphical abstractThese slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
