Description:When communities need to know how to protect and improve their population’s health, they turn to The Community Guide, a collection of evidence-based recommendations and findings from the Community Preventive Services Task Force (Task Force). The Task Force makes evidence-based recommendations about the effectiveness and economics of public health programs, services, and other interventions used in real-world settings—such as communities, worksites, schools, faith-based organizations, military bases, public health clinics and departments, and integrated healthcare systems. The findings are not mandates, but rather a menu of options from which decision makers can make informed decisions for the health of their community.
The Task Force is an independent, nonfederal panel of 15 public health and prevention experts who represent a broad range of scientific, practice, and policy expertise in community prevention services, public health, health promotion, and disease prevention. Members are appointed by the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC’s Community Guide Office provides administrative, scientific, and technical support for the Task Force.
