The goal of this study is to improve the use of preventive health services by implementing the AWV Practice Redesign Toolkit to stimulate AWV visit use in diverse practices across the United States. This is a stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial. The intervention will be implemented in a total of 16 small-to-mid-size primary care practices (at the practice level) with clinicians and staff. Eight practices will participate in the main clinical trial, and 8 in a replication study. The main clinical trial (with community-based practices) and replication study (with Federally Qualified Health Center practices) will be conducted simultaneously. Electronic health record (EHR) data extractions will be used to collect outcomes in a population cohort of patients. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with clinicians/staff and patients to assess intervention implementation. The investigators hypothesize that the toolkit implementation will increase AWV visit use and consequently, use of preventive health services.
