The Guide to Community Preventive Services
CDC scientists and partners over the past 8 years have built a Stanley Cup-like prize worthy of use throughout public health. The Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide), a public health resource that tells what works, how well, for whom, where, and (where possible) at what cost, is now available both in book form and on the Web (www.thecommunityguide.org).
