The health care provider reviews the patient's answers to the Getting Started questions and uses the Counseling Support Tool to make recommendations.

Speaker Notes:

You'll note that blood pressure and cholesterol measurements are not part of the Guide for Young Women; however, there is a section to record growth comments.

After measurements are recorded in the Guides, you then review the answers that the patient gave to the questions in the Getting Started section, using the Counseling Support Tool. This will help you to determine whether your patient's behaviors are on target or need improvement and to identify areas where she can make changes.

You can then use the Counseling Support Tool to make appropriate recommendations about what specific behaviors to change and how to start.
