Patient Education Brochures Target Women's Health

If your practice is looking for patient education materials that target basic gynecologic health, AAFP Family Health Facts brochures may fit that need.

“PMS” discusses the causes of premenstrual syndrome and what can be done to ease symptoms; “Vaginal Discharge” examines vaginal changes that may be signs of a problem. “Urinary Tract Infections” looks at causation, detection and treatment. A fourth brochure, "Pap Smears," tells patients what to expect from this procedure and how it is used to detect cervical abnormalities.

The brochures -- PMS, vaginal discharge, urinary tract infections and Pap smears -- are available in packs of 50 for $12.50. Order online or by calling the AAFP Order Department at (800) 944-0000 and requesting the following items: for the PMS brochures, request item 1546; for vaginal discharge brochures, request item 1563; for brochures on UTIs, request item 1506; and for Pap smears brochures, request item 1539.
