Health Risk Appraisals in Primary Care: Current Knowledge and Potential Applications to Improve Preventive Services and Chronic Care

摘要

This final report incorporates the findings of the two major tasks of the study, an environmental scan and an Expert Panel meeting. The purpose of the scan was to review the current level of knowledge about the use of HAs in primary and chronic care settings and the effects of HA use on care delivery and health outcomes. The purpose of the Panel meeting was to bring together experts in the field to discuss the key research questions, review the scan results, inform the work of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), and recommend future directions for AHRQ research activities.
