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 12 new objectives proposed to
be added to the current set of 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.
The public now is invited to comment on 12 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. CKD-NEW-11: Increase the proportion of people with chronic
kidney disease and diabetes who receive glucose-lowering medications
based on the most recent guidelines. This objective is new to Healthy
People 2030. Data source: National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey (NHANES).

The public also 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 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.

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
