Task Force Recommendations: Application in the “Real World” of Community Intervention
Abstract
Community-based organizations, healthcare providers, and others who are involved in interventions at the local level are challenged by limited funding, time, and experience with evidence-based practice.
Recommendations from the Task Force on Community Preventive Services that can be promoted and adopted for use within community settings have the potential for maximizing resources and improving outcomes among target populations.
