    Background on the CPSTF: The CPSTF is an independent, nonfederal 
panel whose members are appointed by the CDC Director. CPSTF members 
represent a broad range of research, practice, and policy expertise in 
prevention, wellness, health promotion, and public health. The CPSTF 
was convened in 1996 by the Department of Health and Human Services 
(HHS) to identify community preventive programs, services, and policies 
that increase healthy longevity, save lives and dollars, and improve 
Americans' quality of life. CDC is mandated to provide ongoing 
administrative, research, and technical support for the operations of 
the CPSTF. During its meetings, the CPSTF considers the findings of 
systematic reviews on existing research and practice-based evidence and 
issues recommendations. CPSTF recommendations are not mandates for 
compliance or spending. Instead, they provide information about 
evidence-based options that decision makers and stakeholders can 
consider when they are determining what best meets the specific needs, 
preferences, available resources, and constraints of their 
jurisdictions and constituents. The CPSTF's recommendations, along with 
the systematic reviews of the evidence on which they are based, are 
compiled in the The Community Guide.
    Matters Proposed for Discussion: Asthma (School[hyphen]based 
Self[hyphen]management Interventions for Asthma in Children and 
Adolescents); Health Equity (Supportive Housing Policies to Address 
Homelessness); and Obesity Prevention and Control (Effectiveness of 
Interventions that Include Technology to Address Weight-related 
Behaviors). The agenda is subject to change without notice.
    Roybal Campus Security Guidelines: The Edward R. Roybal Campus is 
the headquarters of the CDC and is located at 1600 Clifton Road NE, 
Atlanta, Georgia. The meeting is being held in a Federal government 
building; therefore, Federal security measures are applicable.
    All meeting attendees must register by the dates outlined under 
Meeting Accessability. In planning your arrival time, please take into
