Screenings let you know your risks and help you manage them. Use the chart to see which screenings you may need. If your provider orders a screening or a test for you, you may want to ask questions like:
- What is the purpose of screenings and tests?
- What should I do to prepare? (e.g. avoid certain foods or medication)
- What do the results mean?
- How accurate are the screening and test results?
