    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 HHS to identify community preventive programs, 
services, and policies that increase health, 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 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 
community members 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 and is open to the 
public. Topics will include Mental Health; Nutrition, Physical 
Activity, and Obesity; Social Determinants of Health; and Substance 
Use. 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.

Angela K. Oliver,
Executive Secretary, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
