Section 7: Dissemination of USPSTF Recommendations

The recommendations of the Task Force are widely disseminated to professional audiences: in professional peer-reviewed journals, in an electronic tool (ePSS) available on the AHRQ Web site and as a PDA application (http://www.epss.ahrq.gov), in print through the annual Guide to Clinical Preventive Services (ordering information is available on the AHRQ Web site at http://www.preventiveservices.ahrq.gov), and as reprints in peer-reviewed journals such as the American Family Physician and American Journal of Nurse Practitioners.

The AHRQ Prevention Program is committed to improving the health of all Americans by working to make sure that everyone in the health care system—clinicians, consumers, providers, payers—knows about and uses evidence-based clinical preventive services.

To achieve this goal, AHRQ's prevention program works with public and private partners to reach specific groups and individuals with information about appropriate clinical preventive services, their benefits, and how to improve access to and use of these services.
