USPSTF Recommendation on Primary Care Interventions for Prevention, Cessation of Tobacco Use in Children, Adolescents

Posted April 23, 2020 by Jim Michalski

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 2020

Media advisory: To contact the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, email the Media Coordinator at Newsroom@USPSTF.net or call 202-572-2044. The full report and related articles are linked to this news release.

Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends primary care clinicians provide interventions, including education or brief counseling, to prevent the start of tobacco use among school-age children and adolescents younger than 18. Estimates suggest that every day about 1,600 young people ages 12 to 17 smoke their first cigarette and that about 5.6 million adolescents alive today will die prematurely from a smoking-related illness. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this statement is consistent with its 2013 recommendation, although it now includes electronic cigarettes as a tobacco product and adds that there is insufficient evidence to make a recommendation on primary care interventions for quitting tobacco use among this age group.

USPSTF Recommendation on Screening for Bacterial Vaginosis in Pregnancy

Posted April 2, 2020 by Jim Michalski

JAMA

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 2020

Media advisory: To contact the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, email the Media Coordinator at Newsroom@USPSTF.net or call 202-572-2044. The full report and related articles are linked to this news release.

Embed this link to provide your readers free access to the full-text article This link will be live at the embargo time and all USPSTF articles remain free indefinitely https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/10.1001/jama.2020.2684?guestAccessKey=65882581-0679-4db4-895b-7179f28cdca5&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=040720

Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends against screening for bacterial vaginosis in someone without symptoms and who is pregnant but not at increased risk for preterm delivery. Bacterial vaginosis is a common condition caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina and it has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes including preterm delivery. The USPSTF found insufficient evidence to make a recommendation on screening those who are pregnant and at increased risk for preterm delivery. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this statement reaffirms its 2008 recommendations.
