ACPM's
Prevention
Practice Committee coordinates the
development of practice policy statements
in areas of concern to College members.
Practice policy statements provide
guidance to clinicians.
Short
practice policy statements briefly state
the official position of the College and
its underlying rationale. Detailed
analysis of supporting data, although
essential to making evidence-based
recommendations, is not recapitulated in
practice policy statements because such
critical appraisals are already available
in other, more appropriate references
(e.g., U.S. Preventive Services Task
Force's Guide to Clinical Preventive
Services). The statements are designed
to complement the College's public policy
statements, which assess the efficacy and
value of public health policies
implemented at the local, state, national
or international levels.

more about development and publication
of ACPM practice policy statements.
