Proven value: Check out the new look at AAFP’s award-winning patient education Web site, familydoctor.org. The site has been redesigned, and it’s a snap to navigate. Not that folks weren’t using it already, including 933,908 visitors in October 2003 alone. Send your patients to a reliable source where they can read up on 475 different medical conditions and print out more than 550 patient education handouts (25 percent of which are now available in Spanish).

Proven value: Has the steady media coverage of obesity got your patients asking for help? Look no further than the AAFP’s “Physician’s Guide to Outpatient Nutrition,” a resource designed to help physicians educate patients about nutrition. Topics include patient behavior change, nutrition and physical activity, and weight loss. You’ll also find sections on nutrition’s role in the aging process, in the prevention of heart disease and in risk reduction for certain cancers. The guide is available for $34.95 and can be ordered online at ( http://www.aafp.org/shop/939 ).
