U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is an independent panel of experts that evaluates the effectiveness of preventive services in healthcare. Their primary goal is to provide evidence-based recommendations on screenings, counseling, and preventive medications to improve public health.
The USPSTF reviews scientific studies and data to determine which preventive measures are beneficial for various populations. Their recommendations help guide healthcare providers and patients in making informed decisions about preventive care, ultimately aiming to reduce the incidence of diseases and improve overall health outcomes.
