    Background on the CPSTF: The CPSTF is an independent, nonfederal 
panel whose members are appointed by the CDC Director. CPSTF members 
represent a broad range of research, practice, and policy expertise in 
prevention, wellness, health promotion, and public health. The CPSTF 
was convened in 1996 by the 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 CPSTF. During its meetings, the CPSTF 
considers the findings of systematic reviews of literature on existing 
research and

practice-based evidence and issues recommendations. CPSTF 
recommendations are not mandates for compliance or resource allocation. 
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 CPSTF's 
recommendations, along with the systematic reviews of the evidence on 
which they are based, are compiled in the The Community Guide.
    Matters proposed for discussion: The CPSTF will discuss the 2020 
process for establishing its priority topics for 2021-2025 during a 
closed session the first half of the day. During the afternoon session 
which is open to the public, the CPSTF will deliberate on systematic 
reviews of literature related to the following: HIV Prevention: 
Clinical Decision Support Systems to Increase HIV Screening; 
Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Control: Economics of Pharmacy-
Based Interventions to Increase Medication Adherence; and one or more 
proposals for new reviews in the areas of mental health, sleep health, 
tobacco prevention and control. The agenda is subject to change without 
prior notice; however, agenda updates will be posted on the the 
Community Guide website (www.thecommunityguide.org).
