USPSTF Procedure Manual
2015
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Procedure Manual describes the methods used by the Task Force to ensure that its recommendations are scientifically sound, reproducible, and well documented. The Manual provides a high-level description of the Task Force’s structure, governance, and processes for selecting topics, reviewing evidence, soliciting and responding to public input, and arriving at a recommendation.
It is intended as a guide for anyone who is interested in the Task Force, Task Force members, and those who support the Task Force's work, including staff of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and its designated Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPCs).
