The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is an independent group of medical experts that reviews scientific evidence to recommend the best health screenings and preventive services for healthy people. Their goal is to help individuals and healthcare providers make informed decisions about preventing disease, such as cancer, heart conditions, and other health issues. They evaluate the benefits and harms of screenings and preventive interventions, offering graded guidance to ensure that preventive care is effective, appropriate, and beneficial in reducing illness and saving lives.
