    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.

    Dated: January 5, 2021.
Sandra Cashman,
Executive Secretary, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
