The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) provides evidence-based findings and recommendations about community preventive services, programs, and other interventions aimed at improving population health.
The Community Guide
The CPSTF's recommendations and findings are available in The Guide to Community Preventive Services (The Community Guide). The Community Guide provides information about community preventive services, programs, and other interventions that have been shown to work. It also identifies evidence gaps where more research is needed. It includes implementation resources that public health practitioners and state and local health departments can use to help them put CPSTF findings into practice. Some of these findings focus on heart health, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and hypertension control.
Implementation resources for CPSTF findings
Implementation resources provide information on how to implement the interventions recommended by the CPSTF in The Community Guide. Among them are resources that are designed to prevent and control cardiovascular disease, including the following:
- Tailored Pharmacy-Based Interventions to Improve Medication Adherence
- Telehealth Interventions to Improve Chronic Disease
- Team-Based Care to Improve Blood Pressure Control
