USPSTF Analytic Framework for Child and Adolescent Health Topics
The USPSTF has developed a new way of approaching the evidence on preventive services for children and adolescents. Its new analytic framework takes into consideration several important issues in child and adolescent health:
- Developmental trajectories—keeping children on the most advantageous path as they grow and develop.
- The influences of family and other caregivers on child and adolescent health decisions and outcomes.
- Building the chain of evidence to support clinical preventive services recommendations.
