N1 - Funding Information:
Two established national expert panels, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the Community Task Force (CTF) (henceforth Task Forces), specifically recommend evidence-based preventive strategies in clinical and community settings, respectively, in order to reduce the preventable burden of disease. Their recommendations are made on the basis of rigorous review of research-generated evidence and provide essential information for selecting and prioritizing effective preventive strategies. Members of both Task Forces are nonfederal experts drawn from academia, state and local governments, and the private sector, and both Task Forces work closely with a range of federal and nonfederal experts in science, program, and policy. The USPSTF and CTF are convened and supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, respectively.
Funding Information:
Although the MTCP did not set out to base its program on the recommendations of the USPSTF and the CTF, it did use a social-ecologic framework to map out the types of services needed (MTCP, unpublished document, 1992), and has contributed to the evidence base illustrating that complementary coordinated efforts are possible and that these efforts have beneficial effects. Other studies and programs also have demonstrated that such coordinated efforts are possible and beneficial, and can work. 6,26 Studies in progress funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as part of the Prescription for Health program also are exploring the feasibility and effectiveness of linkages between clinical settings and community-based settings. 27

N2 - Multiple and diverse preventive strategies in clinical and community settings are necessary to improve health. This paper (1) introduces evidence-based recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Community Task Force sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (2) examines, using a social-ecologic model, the evidence-based strategies for use in clinical and community settings to address preventable health-related problems such as tobacco use and obesity, and (3) advocates for prioritization and integration of clinical and community preventive strategies in the planning of programs and policy development, calling for additional research to develop the strategies and systems needed to integrate them.
