About the Community Guide
The Community Guide is a resource for evidence-based Task Force recommendations and findings about what works to improve public health.
The Community Guide is a credible resource with many uses because it is based on a scientific systematic review process and answers questions critical to almost everyone interested in community health and well-being such as:
- What interventions have and have not worked?
- In which populations and settings has the intervention worked or not worked?
- What might the intervention cost? What should I expect for my investment?
- Does the intervention lead to any other benefits or harms?
- What interventions need more research before we know if they work or not?
The Task Force hopes those who use the Community Guide will:
- Use more interventions that have been shown to work
- Use fewer interventions that have been shown not to work
- Research interventions for which there is not enough evidence to say whether or not they work
