Individual active participation in health (IAP) is centered on the notion that if individuals follow a healthy lifestyle, make good choices such as exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking, and are good patients (keeping appointments, heeding physicians' advice, and using healthcare services in an appropriate way) they will be rewarded with increased health, happiness, productivity and eventually financial savings.
