New Checklists To Stay Healthy
Filed in archive Miscellany by Gloria Gamat on March 26, 2007

The pocket-size brochures: the men's and women's versions (available in both English and Spanish) of "Your Checklist for Health" contain bullet recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force of screening tests, preventive medicine and other healthy lifestyle behaviors.
...pocket-size brochure designed to be taken with patients when they visit their health care providers to make it easier to talk about which screening tests they might need.
Unlike diagnostic tests, which clinicians order when they suspect someone has a disease, screening tests help check for problems before they have symptoms.
Both checklists provide tips about other things to do to stay healthy, such as eating a healthy dietand exercising. A chart to record a patient's screening test history and help plan follow-up medical appointments also is included.
The said brochures are available on the AHRQ Web site (click the corresponding links):
