The information in this fact sheet is based on
research findings from the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). The
USPSTF is the leading independent panel of
experts in prevention and primary care. The Task
Force, which is supported by AHRQ, conducts
rigorous, impartial assessments of the scientific
evidence for the effectiveness of a broad range of
clinical preventive services, including screening,
counseling, and preventive medications. Its
recommendations are considered the gold standard
for clinical preventive services.
Put Prevention Into Practice, part of the AHRQ
Dissemination and Implementation Program, is
designed to increase the appropriate use of clinical
preventive services, such as screening tests,
preventive medications, and counseling. Based on
the recommendations of the USPSTF and
Government agencies such as the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, Put Prevention
Into Practice tools and resources help clinicians
determine which preventive services their patients
should receive and make it easier for patients to
participate in, understand, and keep track of their
preventive care.
