    Background on the Task Force: The Task Force is an independent, 
nonfederal panel whose members are appointed by the CDC Director. Task 
Force members represent a broad range of research, practice, and policy 
expertise in prevention, wellness, health promotion, and public health. 
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 meet 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).
    Matters proposed for discussion: Cardiovascular Disease Prevention 
(Mobile Health Interventions for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention); 
Diabetes Prevention and Control (Lifestyle Interventions to Reduce Risk 
of Gestational Diabetes); Nutrition (Gardening-Based Interventions to 
Increase Fruit and Vegetable Intake); Obesity Prevention and Control 
(School-based Diet and Physical Activity Interventions); and Women's 
Health (Primary Prevention of Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual 
Violence Among Youth). The agenda is subject to change without notice.
    Roybal Campus Security Guidelines: The Edward R. Roybal Campus is 
the headquarters of the CDC and is located at 1600 Clifton Road NE., 
Atlanta, Georgia. The meeting is being held in a Federal government
