| Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), is the leading independent panel of nationally renowned, non-federal experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine. Its recommendations-compiled in the Guide to Clinical Preventive Services-are considered the "gold standard" recommendations for clinical preventive services. The Guide to Community Preventive Services (the Community Guide)-at nine years of age, a relative newcomer to the field of evidence-based practice -has quickly emerged as a leader in evidence-based public health. The Community Guide, developed under the leadership of the independent, non-federal, Task Force on Community Preventive Services, is an essential resource for evidence-based public health. In this session, we will o Provide a brief history of both Guides and both Task Forces. o Describe the methodologies used by the Task Forces to evaluate the best available scientific studies to identify interventions that have been shown to improve individual and population health. o Compare and contrast methods used to evaluate clinical preventive services, health care system changes, and community interventions o Discuss recent recommendations and topic releases o Discuss recent efforts to disseminate the results to users and facilitate translation of evidence-based findings into practice and policy: especially focusing on ways in which these resources can be practically utilized by health care and public health professionals. o And discuss use of the Guides to identify critical gaps needing further research. The Guides are invaluable resources spanning the continuum of prevention ranging from individually focused care to health care system changes and community interventions. Audiences including health care and public health professionals, state and local health departments, government agencies, policy makers, purchasers of health care and public health services, and research funders can use this information to help bridge the gaps between the best available science and effective health care and public health action. | |||
| Learning Objectives: By the end of this session attendees will: 1. be familiar with the work of the USPSTF and the Community Task Force; 2. understand the utility and application of recommended interventions and “insufficient evidence” findings; 3. understand the relationship between the Guide to Clinical Preventive Services and the Community Guide and how the two resources can be used; and 4.understand how evidence-based findings can be practically implemented in clinical and community settings. | |||
