Table A-1. USPSTF clinical preventive services determined to be feasible to deliver in nonclinical settings
| Preventive service | Description |
|---|---|
| Alcohol misuse counseling | The USPSTF recommends screening and behavioral counseling interventions to reduce alcohol misuse by adults, including pregnant women, in primary care settings. |
| Breastfeeding counseling | The USPSTF recommends interventions during pregnancy and after birth to promote and support breastfeeding. |
| Obesity screening and counseling—adults | The USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen all adult patients for obesity and offer intensive counseling and behavioral interventions to promote sustained weight loss for obese adults. |
| Obesity screening and counseling—children | The USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen children aged 6 years and older for obesity and offer them or refer them to comprehensive, intensive behavioral interventions to promote improvement in weight status. |
| Screening for and management of obesity in adults | The USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen for obesity. Patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or higher should be offered or referred to intensive, multicomponent behavioral interventions. |
| Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) counseling | The USPSTF recommends high-intensity behavioral counseling to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for all sexually active adolescents and for adults at increased risk for STIs. |
| Tobacco use counseling and interventions—non-pregnant adults | The USPSTF recommends that clinicians ask all adults about tobacco use and provide tobacco cessation interventions for those who use tobacco products. |
| Tobacco use counseling—pregnant women | The USPSTF recommends that clinicians ask all pregnant women about tobacco use and provide augmented, pregnancy-tailored counseling to those who smoke. |
| Behavioral counseling in primary care to promote physical activity | The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is insufficient to recommend for or against behavioral counseling in primary care settings to promote physical activity. |
