Brief Summary

Clinical preventive services (CPS) are fundamental to early disease detection and improvement of health outcomes but are often poorly understood and utilized by patients. Myhealthfinder is a web-based tool developed by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (https://healthfinder.gov). This study tests the "prescription" of myhealthfinder to engage patients in CPS, improve patient-clinician communication and increase uptake of CPS.
