Task Force members represent a broad range of research, practice, and policy expertise in prevention, wellness, health promotion, and public health. The Task Force was convened in 1996 by the Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS)to identify community preventive programs, services, and policies that increase healthy longevity, save lives and dollars, and improve Americans' quality of life. CDC is mandated to provide ongoing administrative, research, and technical support for the operations of the Task Force. During its meetings, the Task Force considers the findings of systematic reviews on existing research and practice-based evidence and issues recommendations. Task Force recommendations are not mandates for compliance or spending. Instead, they provide information about evidence-based options that decision makers and stakeholders can consider when they are determining what best meet the specific needs, preferences, available resources, and constraints of their jurisdictions and constituents. The Task Force's recommendations, along with the systematic reviews of the evidence on which they are based, are compiled in the *Guide to Community Preventive Services (The Community Guide).* *Matters proposed for discussion:* Cardiovascular Disease Prevention (Mobile Health Interventions for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention); Diabetes Prevention and Control (Lifestyle Interventions to Reduce Risk of Gestational Diabetes); Nutrition (Gardening-Based Interventions to Increase Fruit and Vegetable Intake); Obesity Prevention and Control (School-based Diet and Physical Activity Interventions); and Women's Health (Primary Prevention of Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Violence Among Youth). The agenda is subject to change without notice. *Roybal Campus Security Guidelines:* The Edward R. Roybal Campus is the headquarters of the CDC and is located at 1600 Clifton Road NE., Atlanta, Georgia.
