Abstract: | Traditionally the obstetrician/gynecologist has been the sole provider of health care for women. As the United States moves toward a system of greater managed care, however, family practitioners, internists, and other physician extenders (physician assistants, nurse-practitioners, and nurse-midwives) are the first-line providers for many women. These practitioners have the opportunity to influence behavioral changes and promote healthy habits by identifying risk factors and their potential consequences. |
