家庭医生在预防性保健中发挥着重要、独特和重要的作用。然而，预防医学的实际做法和重点差别很大。吸烟是当今美国主要的可预防疾病和高昂医疗费用的原因。本研究探讨了家庭医生对吸烟患者的认识。结果表明，医生未能认识到大量吸烟患者，而且医生的行为是以疾病为导向的，而不是预防性的。适度的教育计划在提高医生对吸烟患者的认识和识别方面非常成功。这项研究表明，家庭医生可以而且需要成为更好的预防专家，他们必须在尝试咨询或干预戒烟计划之前记录所有患者的吸烟习惯。
: Family physicians have an essential, unique, and vital role to play in preventive health care. However, the actual practice of and emphasis upon preventive medicine varies widely. Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of illness and high medical costs in the United States today. This study examined the recognition of smoking patients by family physicians. The results show that physicians fail to recognize large numbers of their patients who smoke and that physician behavior is disease oriented rather than preventive. A modest educational program was very successful in improving physician awareness and recognition of smoking patients. This study suggests that family physicians can and need to become better prevention specialists and they must document the smoking habits of all their patients before attempting to counsel or intervene with smoking cessation programs.
