Abstract
One of the main functions of the health systems in each country is health services delivery which includes a wide spectrum of four levels. The first level includes the reduction of disease prevalence, the second level includes early detection, screening and timely treatment. In the third level, we have rehabilitation and relief services, and finally the fourth level is reducing and controlling unnecessary medical interventions. Health services delivery should encompass all of the health needs of each population in the form of these levels. The focus on just one level leads to a reduction in the importance of other levels, and disrupts comprehensive services delivery. It is obvious that, paying attention to the prevention levels can have a significant impact on reducing the later costs and consequences. At present, the provision of services at different levels of Iran's health system is not balanced, and the promotion of these services requires more attention from health policymakers. The health system of Iran is more focused on treatment and medical services and there are many challenges such as poor stewardship and disadvantages of integrated systems in the rehabilitation, relief and palliative services.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Plagiarism is the most prevalent type of scientific misconduct, and various rules and strategies have been proposed to combat it in different countries. A review of other countries' experiences in this area contributes to good policymaking. The present study was conducted to introduce preventive interventions of plagiarism in the leading countries.
Methods: The present study was a qualitative review study of applied practices. In this study, preventive interventions of scientific plagiarism in the 27 European ::::::::union:::::::: countries were studied due to the appropriate coherence and structural similarity at national, organizational, and individual levels. The national-level interventions were analyzed using the content analysis method in mentioned countries.
Results: The results of analyzing the national-level interventions were categorized into eight main themes, including reaching a national agreement on examples of scientific plagiarism and misconduct; policy development; monitoring and supervision; financial support development; development of databanks and software; compiling educational programs for faculty members and students; dissemination and use of successful experiences; and eventually establishment of laws related to scientific misconduct, plagiarism, and punishments activities.
Conclusion: Using preventive interventions at a national level proves the commitment and determination of policymakers to control and prevent plagiarism. Proper use of preventive interventions at a national level strengthens the controlling and preventive infrastructures of this issue at the organizational level, and enhances moral commitment and professional skills among the country's researchers.
