The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has published an article titled, “Actions to Transform U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Methods to Mitigate Systemic Racism in Clinical Preventive Services,” in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The article details action the Task Force is taking to promote antiracism and health equity in preventive care by confronting these issues throughout its recommendation development process. These efforts are aimed at reducing the effects of social injustices in health care and, ultimately, helping better equip clinicians with the evidence-based guidance they need to prevent disease and keep everyone as healthy as possible.
