Solicitation for Written Comments on Proposed Objectives for Healthy People 2030

The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is soliciting written comments on the proposed Healthy People 2030 objectives, including proposed core, developmental, and research objectives. The public is also invited to propose new objectives to be considered for inclusion in Healthy People 2030. ODPHP manages the Health People initiative, which provides science- based, 10-year national objectives for promoting health and preventing disease. Every 10 years, through the Healthy People initiative, HHS leverages scientific insights and lessons from the past decade along with new knowledge of current data, trends, and innovations to develop the next iteration of national health promotion and disease prevention objectives. For four decades, Healthy People has set and monitored national health objectives to meet a broad range of health needs, encouraged collaborations across sectors, guided individuals toward making informed health decisions, and measured the impact of our prevention and health promotion activities. The proposed objectives for Healthy People 2030 represent a streamlined set of objectives, representing important public health issues facing our nation.
