The Annual Wellness Visit is for adults 65 and over who are Medicare eligible. The purpose of this study is to assess the knowledge of what senior citizens know about an AWV by completing a pre- and post-test using the author's survey. Can seniors learn what is included in an AWV through an educational presentation, thus leading to an increase in participation and possible improving of overall health?
