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 one core objective proposed to
be added to Healthy People 2030. The
[[Page 64241]]
public is also invited to submit proposals for additional new core,
developmental, or research objectives that meet the criteria outlined
below.
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 are a
cornerstone of Healthy People 2030. During the development of Healthy
People 2030, HHS asked for the public's comments to help shape the
initiative's framework (vision, mission, and overarching goals) and its
objectives. HHS plans to periodically seek public comment to ensure
Healthy People 2030 remains relevant and reflects emerging public
health issues.
The public now is invited to comment on one new core objective
proposed to be added to Healthy People 2030. This new objective was
developed by federal subject matter experts, approved by the Healthy
People Federal Interagency Workgroup and is presented for the public's
review and comment. The objective is:
1. Social Determinants of Health-NEW-07: Increase the proportion of
the voting age citizens who vote. Data Source: Current Population
Survey (CPS), U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS).
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.
Written comments and evidence-based information should be submitted
by email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e2aab2d0d2d1d2a18d8f8f878c96a28a8a91cc858d94"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3e766e0c0e0d0e7d5153535b504a7e56564d10595148">[email protected]</span></a> by 11:59 p.m. ET on December 2, 2022.
Comments received in response to this notice will be reviewed and
considered by the Healthy People topic area workgroups, Federal
Interagency Workgroup on Healthy People 2030, and other federal subject
matter experts.
