Details

• Alternative Title:
  Community Preventive Services Task Force Report for Fiscal Year 2021
• Corporate Authors:
  Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF)
• Description:
  The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) is an independent, nonfederal panel of public health and prevention experts that provides recommendations and findings on programs, services, and other interventions to protect and improve population health. These recommendations and findings are based on systematic reviews of evidence of effectiveness and economics. The Community Guide comprises CPSTF recommendations and findings and is a resource for decision-makers in public and private sectors. CPSTF recommendations are not mandates but rather evidence-based options that decision-makers can use when seeking to improve health in their communities. For all evidence reviews, CPSTF uses a consistent, scientifically rigorous, published methodology. Each review generally considers all types of comparative study designs and includes peer-reviewed studies that are published in English from the United States and other high-income countries. The Community Guide systematic review methods are described in an online, printable manual, which promotes transparency and awareness by making the methods accessible to the public. CPSTF considers health equity in all systematic reviews. To date, CPSTF has focused on racial and ethnic minority populations and populations with lower incomes. Communities, businesses, the military, healthcare systems, schools, worksites, and related groups put CPSTF recommendations into practice. The broad portfolio of CPSTF recommendations and findings covers a range of public health issues relevant to all Americans. Congress has charged CPSTF to provide an annual report that identifies gaps in research and recommends priority areas for further examination.5 In this report to Congress, which covers fiscal year 2021, CPSTF also features the topic of children’s mental health.
  
  During fiscal year 2021, CPSTF issued recommendations and findings on the following topics and interventions: Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention; HIV Prevention; Nutrition and Physical Activity; Asthma; and Health Equity.
