SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background on the CPSTF: The Task Force is an independent, 
nonpartisan, nonfederal, and unpaid panel. Its members represent a 
broad range of research, practice, and policy expertise in prevention, 
wellness, 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. CDC is 
mandated to provide ongoing administrative, research, and technical 
support for the operations of the Task Force. During its meetings, the 
Task Force considers the findings of systematic reviews on existing 
research and practice-based evidence and issues recommendations. Task 
Force 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 Task 
Force's recommendations, along with the systematic reviews of the 
evidence on which they are based, are compiled in the Guide to 
Community Preventive Services (The Community Guide).
