Abstract

Periodic assessments offer an excellent opportunity for obstetricians and gynecologists to provide preventive screening, evaluation, and counseling. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Committee on Gynecologic Practice recommends routine assessments in primary and preventive care for women based on age and risk factors.
