Public comment informed the development of Healthy People 2030. HHS will provide opportunities for public input periodically throughout the decade to ensure Healthy People 2030 reflects current public health priorities and public input. The updated set of Healthy People 2030 objectives will be incorporated on www.health.gov/HealthyPeople2030.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since 1980, Healthy People has provided a
comprehensive set of national health promotion and disease prevention
objectives with 10-year targets aimed at improving the health of all.
Healthy People 2030 objectives present a picture of the nation's health
at the beginning of the decade, establish national goals and targets to
be achieved by the year 2030, and monitor progress over time. The U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is soliciting the
submission of written comments regarding three new objectives proposed
to be added to Healthy People 2030 since the initiative's launch in
August 2020. The public is also invited to submit proposals for
additional new core, developmental, or research objectives that meet
the criteria outlined below.
In addition, HHS is seeking evidence-based information regarding
the relationship between voter participation and health as a measure of
civic engagement to support the Healthy People social determinants of
health (SDOH) framework. Civic engagement is a component of the Social
and Community Context domain of the Healthy People SDOH framework.
Healthy People 2030 is the product of an extensive collaborative
process that relies on input from a diverse array of individuals and
organizations, both within and outside the federal government, with a
common interest in improving the nation's health. Public comments were
a cornerstone of Healthy People 2030's development. During the first
phase of planning for Healthy People 2030, HHS asked for the public's
comments on the initiative's vision, mission, and overarching goals.
Those comments helped set the framework for Healthy People 2030. The
public was also invited to submit comments on proposed Healthy People
2030 objectives, which helped shape the current set of Healthy People
2030 objectives.
The public now is invited to comment on three new objectives
proposed to be added to Healthy People 2030. These new objectives were
developed by Healthy People topic area workgroups led by various
agencies within the Federal Government. They have been reviewed by the
Federal Interagency Workgroup on Healthy People 2030 and are presented
now for the public's review and comment. They are:
1. Disability and Health-NEW-06: Increase the percentage of adults
who can resume 50 percent or more of preinjury activities (with or
without supports) 5 years after receiving acute inpatient
rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury. Data Source: Traumatic Brain
Injury Model Systems (TBIMS) National Database.
2. Public Health Infrastructure-NEW-08: Increase the proportion of
tribal communities that have developed a health improvement plan. Data
Source: Public Health in Indian Country Capacity Survey (PHICCS),
National Indian Health Board (NIHB).
3. Public Health Infrastructure-NEW-09: Increase the proportion of
tribal public health agencies that use Core Competencies for Public
Health Professionals in continuing education for personnel. Data
Source: Public Health in Indian Country Capacity Survey (PHICCS),
National Indian Health Board (NIHB).
The public is also invited to propose additional core,
developmental, or research objectives for consideration that address
critical public health issues. Proposed new objectives must meet all
the objective selection criteria (see below).
Objective Selection Criteria
Core Objectives
Core objectives must meet the following 5 criteria to be included
in Healthy People 2030. Core objectives should (1) have a reliable,
nationally representative data source with baseline data no older than
2015; (2) have at least 2 additional data points beyond the baseline
during the decade; (3) be of national importance; (4) have effective,
evidence-based interventions available to achieve the objective; and
(5) have data to help address disparities and achieve health equity.
Developmental Objectives
Developmental objectives will have the following characteristics:
(1) Represent high priority issues; (2) do not have reliable baseline
data yet; and (3) have evidence-based interventions available.
Research Objectives
Research objectives will have the following characteristics: (1)
Represent key opportunities to make progress in areas with limited
prior research, a high health or economic burden, or significant
disparities between population groups; (2) may or may not have reliable
baseline data; and (3) do not have evidence-based interventions
available.

by email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#0941593b393a394a6664646c677d4961617a276e667f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="baf2ea888a898af9d5d7d7dfd4cefad2d2c994ddd5cc">[email protected]</span></a> by 11:59 p.m. ET on January 10, 2022.
