Who is the audience for the information in the Community Guide? The answer is that you, and people like you, are exactly that audience: people who make decisions about and advocate for population-based health interventions and research; people who must make difficult funding decisions and trade-offs. Each audience listed can and should put the findings from the Community Guide to practical use.

Through your understanding and use of the Community Guide, you can use the findings to make decisions about the application of resources and focus of research. Because the findings are only valuable if they are applied, you can also provide information about the Community Guide as an essential reference to others and let the Task Force know how the information is being helpful or how it can be refined to address your needs.
