represent a broad range of research, practice, and policy expertise in 
prevention, wellness, health promotion, and public health. The CPSTF

services, and policies that increase health, longevity, save lives and

administrative, research, and technical support for the operations of 
the CPSTF. During its meetings, the CPSTF considers the findings of 
systematic reviews of existing research and practice-based evidence and 
issues recommendations. CPSTF recommendations are not mandates for 
compliance or spending. Instead, they provide information about 
evidence-based options that decision makers and affected organizations 
and individuals 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 on the Community Guide website 
(www.thecommunityguide.org).
    Matters proposed for discussion: The agenda will consist of 
deliberation on systematic reviews of literature. Topics will include 
Cancer Screening; Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity; Social 
Determinants of Health; Mental Health; and Substance Use. The meeting 
is open to the public. Information regarding the start and end times 
for each day, and any updates to agenda topics, will be available on 
the Community Guide website (www.thecommunityguide.org) closer to the 
date of the meeting.
    The meeting agenda is subject to change without notice.

    Dated: April 20, 2022.
