    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
