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 the current Healthy People
2030 objectives. The 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 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. HHS most recently solicited comments on one new
objective during the 2022 public comment period from October 24, 2022,
through December 2, 2022, and three new proposed objectives during the
2021 public comment period from December 3, 2021, through January 10,
2022. These new objectives, which were developed by Healthy People 2030
subject matter experts, meet specific criteria, and reflect public
input, are now accessible on <a href="https://health.gov/healthypeople">https://health.gov/healthypeople</a>.
While there are no new objectives being proposed at this time, the
public
[[Page 71581]]
is invited to provide comment on the current Healthy People 2030
objectives and 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). The public is also invited to propose new topics
to be considered for inclusion in Healthy People 2030.
Objective Selection Criteria
Core Objectives
Core objectives must meet the following five 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 two 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#4901197b797a790a2624242c273d0921213a672e263f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f3bba3c1c3c0c3b09c9e9e969d87b39b9b80dd949c85">[email protected]</span></a> by 11:59 p.m. ET on November 20,
2023. 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.
