The use of evidence-based guidelines is gaining renewed interest as an approach toward the rational use of health care dollars in Europe and the US. Dr. David Grossman, professor or Public Health & Community Medicine at the University of Washington, focuses on how the US Preventive Services Task force, a national independent body of primary experts sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research, uses evidence-based approaches in making its recommendations regarding screening tests for the US population. We will focus on the recent controversies around recommendations regarding cholesterol screening in children to exemplify the methods of the Task Force and contrast them to other organizations with similar recommendations. The University of Washington is committed to ensuring digital accessibility in our services, programs, and activities.
