This systematic evidence review was prepared for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (contract No. 290-97-0018, Task Order No. 2) to be used by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Task Force members Paul Frame, M.D., and C. Tracy Orleans, Ph.D., served as liaisons. Oregon Health & Science University Evidence-based Practice Center staff who contributed to this project included Susan Wingenfeld, EPC program coordinator, and Patty Davies, M.S., librarian.
