meeting summary. 

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 

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 

Nutrition, Physical Activity, and 

Obesity and Health Equity/Social 

Determinants of Health. Information 

regarding the start and end times for 

each day, and any updates to agenda 

topics, will be available on the 

Community Guide website 

(www.thecommunityguide.org) closer to 

the date of the meeting. 

The meeting agenda is subject to 

change without notice.
