The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) insufficient evidence statements, or I statements, report areas of clinical preventive services for which evidence is lacking, of poor quality, or conflicting, and the balance of benefits and harms for a clinical preventive service cannot be determined.
The list below can serve as a useful resource for prevention researchers. However, the I Statements do not necessarily reflect the research priorities of NIH Institutes and Centers..
USPSTF announces the “Evidence Gaps Research Taxonomy” table
This standardized template for communicating research gaps will accompany each new recommendation and I statement.
