Radiocast: Preventive Health Services - Men and
Women
Debra: This is Healthcare 411: Information for better health. Men and
women have distinct preventive health care needs. AHRQ Director Dr. Carolyn
Clancy offers tips for remembering which screenings tests are recommended for
you.
Dr. Clancy: Men and women should ask their doctor about the different
preventive services that can help them stay healthy. AHRQ has created checklists
for men and for women that highlight which preventive services men and women
should get and when they should get them based on the Task Force
recommendations. There also is a wonderful tool, called My Healthfinder,
designed specifically for consumers, that features the recommendations of the
Task Force. This tool was developed by AHRQ and the Office of Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion, and you can find it on the Web at
healthfinder.gov.
Debra: Healthcare 411 is produced by AHRQ, the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
I’m Debra James for Healthcare 411.
