The only complete medical guide for consumers produced with the input of family physicians will be available at retail stores in August.
The AAFP Family Health & Medical Guide was produced by Word Publishing in cooperation with the Academy.
Other highlights in the 680-page book include self-care flowcharts; up-to-date facts on nutrition, stress, and fitness; emergency and first-aid guides; more than 450 illustrations and photos; and 24 full-color pages written for children.
"As family physicians, we strive to keep our patients healthy by focusing on prevention," says Academy President Douglas E. Henley, MD, of Fayetteville, NC. "The AAFP Family Health & Medical Guide offers practical, easy-to-read health and medical information for all family members to help them become better informed about their health."
