# Preventive Screening Planner

## Health & Safety Boundary

This skill is a conversation planner for preventive screening discussions. It does not recommend specific screening tests, frequencies, diagnoses, treatments, or medical decisions. Screening needs depend on clinical guidelines, age, sex, anatomy, family history, prior results, symptoms, pregnancy status, medications, and personal risk factors. Confirm all screening plans with a qualified clinician.

## When to Use / When Not to Use

Use this skill before a wellness visit, annual physical, new-patient appointment, or preventive care conversation.

Do not use it to self-order tests, skip clinician-recommended screening, interpret results, or decide that a symptom can wait because a screening is planned.

## Why Preventive Screening Matters

Preventive screening aims to identify risk factors or early signs of disease before symptoms appear. Good screening conversations balance possible benefits, limitations, false positives, false negatives, follow-up burden, personal values, and individual risk.

## Screening Categories

Discuss cancer, cardiovascular, metabolic, bone, mental health, infectious disease, vaccination review, reproductive health, and dental or vision care as appropriate with a clinician.

## Discussion Checklists by Life Stage

| Life stage | Conversation prompts |
|---|---|
| 20s and 30s | Ask about baseline blood pressure, reproductive health, sexual health, vaccines, family history, mental health, and lifestyle risk factors. |
| 40s | Ask whether new cancer, metabolic, cardiovascular, or family-history-based screening conversations should begin. |
| 50s | Ask about age-related screening discussions, bone health if relevant, cardiovascular risk, and how prior results change follow-up. |
| 60+ | Ask how screening decisions should account for function, life expectancy, prior results, medications, and personal values. |

## Risk Factor Awareness Prompts

Prepare notes about family history, lifestyle factors, prior abnormal results, symptoms, exposures, pregnancy history, medications, and practical barriers such as cost, transportation, language, or caregiving responsibilities.

## Preparing the Screening Conversation

Ask which preventive screenings are appropriate to discuss this year, what changes because of your personal history, what benefits and downsides matter, what follow-up would happen after a positive result, and how to track due dates.

## Screening Log Template

| Screening topic | Last date | Result summary from clinician | Next due or follow-up to confirm | Questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|  |  |  |  |  |

## Staying Current with Guidelines

Guidelines can change and may differ by organization or country. Treat public guidance as background education, then ask your clinician how current guidance applies to you.
