United States Preventive Services Task Force

The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is an independent group of experts who review scientific evidence and provide recommendations on preventive healthcare. Their goal is to help healthcare providers and the public make informed decisions about which tests, screenings, and preventive measures are effective in improving health outcomes. The USPSTF evaluates various health topics, considering factors like the potential benefits and risks of interventions, and issues guidelines that help standardize preventive care across the country. Their recommendations are aimed at enhancing public health and preventing diseases before they occur.
