Background on the CPSTF: The CPSTF is an independent, nonfederal
panel whose members are appointed by the CDC Director. CPSTF members
represent a broad range of research, practice, and policy expertise in
prevention, wellness, health promotion, and public health. The CPSTF
was convened in 1996 by the Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) to identify community preventive programs, services, and policies
that increase health, longevity, save lives
[[Page 45986]]
and dollars, and improve Americans' quality of life. CDC is mandated to
provide ongoing administrative, research, and technical support for the
operations of the CPSTF. During its meetings, the CPSTF considers the
findings of systematic reviews of existing research and practice-based
evidence and issues recommendations. CPSTF recommendations are not
mandates for compliance or spending. Instead, they provide information
about evidence-based options that decision makers and stakeholders can
consider when they are determining what best meets the specific needs,
preferences, available resources, and constraints of their
jurisdictions and constituents. The CPSTF's recommendations, along with
the systematic reviews of the evidence on which they are based, are
compiled in the The Community Guide.
Matters proposed for discussion: The agenda will consist of
deliberation on systematic reviews of literature and is open to the
public. Topics will include Cancer Screening; HIV Prevention;
Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity; Social Determinants of
Health, and Violence Prevention. Information regarding the start and
end times for each day, and any updates to agenda topics, will be
available on the Community Guide website (<a href="http://www.thecommunityguide.org">www.thecommunityguide.org</a>)
closer to the date of the meeting.
The meeting agenda is subject to change without notice.
Dated: August 11, 2021.
Sandra Cashman,
Executive Secretary, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
