Meeting of the Community Preventive Services Task Force
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces
the next meeting of the Community Preventive Services Task Force (Task
Force). The Task Force is an independent, nonpartisan, nonfederal, and
unpaid panel. Its members represent a broad range of research,
practice, and policy expertise in prevention, wellness, health
promotion, and public health, and are appointed by the CDC Director.
The Task Force was convened in 1996 by the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) to identify community preventive programs,
services, and policies that increase healthy longevity, save lives and
dollars and improve Americans' quality of life. CDC is mandated to
provide ongoing administrative, research, and technical support for the
operations of the Task Force. During its meetings, the Task Force
considers the findings of systematic reviews on existing research and
issues recommendations. Task Force recommendations are not mandates for
compliance or spending. Instead, they provide information about
evidence-based options that decision makers and stakeholders can
consider when determining what best meets the specific needs,
preferences, available resources, and constraints of their
jurisdictions and constituents. The Task Force's recommendations, along
with the systematic reviews of the scientific evidence on which they
are based, are compiled in the Guide to Community Preventive Services
(Community Guide).
