The Task Force recommends health communication campaigns when combined with the distribution of free or reduced-price related products.

Does Mass Media Alone Work to Promote Physical Activity?

More research is needed for the Task Force to determine if mass media without other components results in a more physically active population.

The Guide to Community Preventive Services is a free resource to help you choose programs and policies to improve health and prevent disease in your community. Systematic reviews are used to answer these questions:

Which program and policy interventions have been proven effective?
Are there effective interventions that are right for my community?
What might effective interventions cost; what is the likely return on investment?

Learn more about The Community Guide, collaborators involved in its development and dissemination, and methods used to conduct the systematic reviews.
