Background 

Under Title IX of the Public Health 

Service Act, AHRQ is charged with 

enhancing the quality, appropriateness, 

and effectiveness of health care services 

and access to such services. 42 U.S.C.

practice, including clinical prevention 

of diseases and other health conditions, 

and improvements in the organization, 

financing, and delivery of health care 

services. See 42 U.S.C. 299(b). 

The USPSTF is a panel of outside 

experts that makes independent 

evidence-based recommendations 

regarding the provision of clinical 

preventive services. The USPSTF was 

first established in 1984 under the 

auspices of the U.S. Public Health 

Service. Currently, the USPSTF is 

convened by the Director of AHRQ, and 

AHRQ provides ongoing administrative, 

research and technical support for the 

USPSTF’s operation. The USPSTF is 

charged with rigorously evaluating the 

effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and 

appropriateness of clinical preventive 

services and formulating or updating 

recommendations for primary care 

clinicians regarding the appropriate 

provision of preventive services. See 42 

U.S.C. 299b4(a)(1). AHRQ is charged 

with the dissemination of 

recommendations. In addition to hard 

copy materials (that may be obtained
