About CPSTF
CPSTF is an independent, nonfederal panel of public health and prevention experts whose members represent a broad range of research, practice, and policy expertise in community preventive services, public health, health promotion, and disease prevention. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services established CPSTF in 1996 to develop guidance on which community-based health promotion and disease prevention intervention approaches work, based on available scientific evidence.
CPSTF is supported by 32 Liaison organizations that represent federal agencies, including the Armed Forces, and national organizations invested in America’s health. CDC also works alongside CPSTF members and liaisons to provide both scientific and administrative support.
CPSTF findings are listed on The Community Guide website.
