ACTION: Solicit for new topic
nominations.
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) invites
individuals and organizations to
nominate public health topic areas or
related population-oriented
interventions (i.e., interventions
delivered to groups of people in
communities or healthcare systems) for
the Task Force on Community
Preventive Services (Task Force) to
consider for review. Topics that have
been recently reviewed by the Task
Force or are currently under review are
listed below in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section.
The Task Force is an independent
panel of experts that makes evidencebased recommendations regarding use
of population-based interventions,
which are selected from broad topic
areas. Recommendations are based on
the evidence gathered in rigorous and
systematic scientific reviews of
published studies conducted by Guide
to Community Preventive Services
(Community Guide) scientific teams.
The findings from reviews are published
in peer-reviewed journals and made
available through the Community Guide
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:52 May 30, 2006
Jkt 208001
Web site (https://
thecommunityguide.org). Community
Guide topics coordinate with Healthy
People 2010 objectives; address topics
related to the large preventable burden
of disease; provide guidance on ways to
reduce disease, injury, and impairment;
and address social challenges.
Topics can be nominated by
individuals or organizations. The Task
Force will consider nominations and
prioritize topics for review using the
following criteria: Public health
importance (burden of disease, injury,
impairment, or exposure); preventability
(amount of burden that could
realistically be reduced given adequate
resources); relationship to other public
health initiatives; and usefulness of the
package of topics selected and level of
current research and intervention
activity in the public and private
sectors. The Task Force will also
prioritize topics for which there are gaps
in the evidence and the potential to
significantly improve public health
decisionmaking. Nominations can be for
new topics or topics previously
reviewed by the Task Force.
Basic Topic Nomination
Requirements: Nominations must be no
more than 250 words long and must
include the following information. (A
separate appendix, not included in the
word count, can contain references and
supporting documents.)
1. Name of topic or intervention.
2. Rationale for consideration by the
Task Force, to include as appropriate:
a. Justification that topic area
addresses risk behaviors related to the
largest burden of disease; provides
guidance on ways to reduce disease,
injury, and impairment; or addresses
environmental and social challenges.
b. Description of public health
importance (burden of disease, injury,
impairment, or exposure). Citations and
supporting documents are
recommended.
c. Public health relevance (amount of
burden that could realistically be
reduced given adequate resources).
d. Summary of new evidence, if any,
that has potential to affect the Task
Force’s recommendation on a
previously reviewed topic. Please refer
to https://thecommunityguide.org for
current Task Force recommendations.
Citations and supporting documents are
recommended.
e. In topic areas that have already
been addressed or identified as high
priority by the Task Force, important
interventions that have not yet been
addressed or where additional new
information may lead to updated
conclusions can be identified. Please

DATES: Topic nominations should be
submitted by June 23, 2006, to be
considered for 2006–2008. CDC will not
reply to submissions but will consider
all topic nominations during the
selection process. If a topic is selected
for review by the Task Force, the
nominator will be notified by CDC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The scientific literature on specific
health problems can be large,
inconsistent, uneven in quality, or
inaccessible. Through rigorous and
systematic scientific reviews of
published studies, the Guide to
Community Preventive Services
(Community Guide) serves as a filter for
this information—using systematic
review methods to summarize what is
known about the effectiveness,
economic efficiency, and feasibility of
interventions to promote community
health and prevent disease. The Task
Force on Community Preventive
Services makes recommendations for
the use of various interventions based
on the evidence gathered in these
reviews. The findings from the reviews
are published in peer-reviewed journals
and also made available on the Internet
at https://www.thecommunityguide.org.
The Task Force is an independent
panel of experts that makes evidencebased recommendations regarding
population-based interventions. The
group was convened in 1996 by the
Department of Health and Human
Services to provide leadership in the
evaluation of community, population,
and healthcare system strategies to
address a variety of public health and
health promotion topics such as
physical activity. The Task Force’s
membership is multi-disciplinary, and
includes perspectives representative of
state and local health departments,
managed care, academia, behavioral and
social sciences, communications
sciences, mental health, epidemiology,
quantitative policy analysis, decision
