MISSOURI WISEWOMAN PROGRAM MANUAL


ANNUAL VISIT/RESCREENING

WISEWOMAN Annual Visits (Rescreen) have the same required components as Risk Reduction Counseling/Initial Screening, which are to be completed *12-18 months after the previous screening. WISEWOMAN participants should return annually for completion of assessment and screening.

*NOTE: Although a rescreening visit should occur 12-18 months after the previous WISEWOMAN screening visit, an 11-month cutoff has been established to allow flexibility for women who return just before the one-year mark*
