DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention


Meeting of the Community Preventive Services Task Force

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces 
the next meeting of the Community Preventive Services Task Force (Task 
Force). The Task Force is an independent, nonfederal, and uncompensated 
panel. Its members represent a broad range of research, practice, and 
policy expertise in prevention, wellness and health promotion, and 
public health, and are appointed by the CDC Director. The Task Force 
was convened in 1996 by the Department of Health and Human Services 
(HHS) to identify community preventive programs, services, and policies 
that increase healthy longevity, save lives and dollars and improve 
Americans' quality of life. During this meeting, the Task Force will 
consider the findings of systematic reviews on existing research and 
issue recommendations. These recommendations provide evidence-based 
options from which decision makers in communities, companies, health 
departments, health plans and healthcare systems, non-governmental 
organizations, and at all levels of government can choose what best 
meets the needs, preferences, available resources, and constraints of 
their constituents. The Task Force's recommendations, along with the 
systematic reviews of the scientific evidence on which they are based, 
are compiled in the Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community 
Guide).

DATES: The meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 from 
8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT and Thursday, October 24, 2013 from 8:30
