该地区所需要的是目的在于创造新的谋生手段、而并非加重依赖程度的政策、解决破坏整个前苏联健康的生活方式问题（吸烟和饮酒）的公共医疗运动以及促进自力更生并且返回正常生活的社区发展规划。
What the region needs are policies aimed at generating new livelihoods rather than reinforcing dependency; public-health campaigns that address the lifestyle issues (smoking and drinking) that undermine health across the former Soviet Union; and community development initiatives that promote self-reliance and a return to normalcy.
