Speaker Notes:

The third column of the Tool provides the recommendations that you can make for answers that require behavior change. Along with these recommendations, your knowledge of the patient's history and your professional judgment should be used to determine that areas that your patient may need to change.

You then record these recommendations on page 10 of the Guide. You can also direct your patient to pages 13–20 of the Guide and to the corresponding Reaching My Goal Tip Sheets for additional information. The Tip Sheets expand on topics that are presented in the Guide. They are discussed in more detail at the end of this module.

In the Guide for Young Women, recommendations are recorded on page 12. You can also direct your patient to pages 16–22 of the Guide and to the Wallet Card for additional information. The Wallet Card is discussed more at the end of this module.
