Community Preventive Services Task Force

The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) is an independent panel of public health experts that provides evidence-based recommendations to improve community health. They review research on prevention strategies, such as vaccination programs, smoking bans, and physical activity initiatives, to help communities make informed decisions. Their goal is to promote effective, proven methods to prevent disease and enhance well-being at the population level. The CPSTF’s guidance is used by public health agencies and organizations to develop policies and programs that improve health outcomes.
