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 HHS to identify 

community preventive programs, 

services, and policies that increase 

health and 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 evidencebased options that decision makers and 

affected community members 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 on 

the Community Guide website 

(www.thecommunityguide.org). 

Matters proposed for discussion: The 

agenda will consist of deliberation on 

systematic reviews of literature. Topics 

proposed for the October 2023 meeting 

include cancer, preparedness and 

response, social determinants of health, 

and substance use. Changes 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. 

Tiffany Brown, 

Executive Secretary, Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention.
