The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) sponsors the development of Systematic
Evidence Reviews (SERs) through its Evidence-based Practice Program. With guidance from the U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force ? (USPSTF) and input from Federal partners and primary care specialty
societies, the Evidence-based Practice Center at Oregon Health Sciences University systematically
reviews the evidence of the effectiveness of a wide range of clinical preventive services, including
screening, counseling, and chemoprevention, in the primary care setting. The SERs—comprehensive
reviews of the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of particular clinical preventive services—serve as
the foundation for the recommendations of the USPSTF, which provide age- and risk-factor-specific
recommendations for the delivery of these services in the primary care setting. Details of the process of
identifying and evaluating relevant scientific evidence are described in the “Methods” section of each
SER.
The SERs document the evidence regarding the benefits, limitations, and cost-effectiveness of a broad range
of clinical preventive services and will help further awareness, delivery, and coverage of preventive care as an
integral part of quality primary health care.
AHRQ also disseminates the SERs on the AHRQ Web site (http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/uspstfix.htm) and
disseminates summaries of the evidence (summaries of the SERs) and recommendations of the USPSTF in print
and on the Web. These are available through the AHRQ Web site and through the National Guideline
Clearinghouse (http://www.ngc.gov).
We welcome written comments on this SER. Comments may be sent to: Director, Cen
