Overview

Founded on data that enable progress and trends to be tracked, Healthy People 2010 provides a set of 10-year evidence-based objectives for improving the health of all Americans.  Its two overarching goals are to increase the quality and years of healthy life and to eliminate health disparities.  Healthy People 2010 covers 28 focus areas with 467 specific objectives.
Midway through the decade, the midcourse review assesses the status of the national objectives. The midcourse review is the process through which HHS, Federal agencies, and other experts across the Nation assessed the data trends during the first half of the decade, considered new science and available data, and made changes to ensure that Healthy People 2010 remains current, accurate, and relevant, while concurrently assessing emerging public health priorities. The midcourse review uses data made available by January 1, 2005. Public comments on the changes at the midcourse to the Healthy People 2010 objectives and subobjectives were solicited in August and September 2005. The Healthy People 2010 Midcourse Review summarizes the progress and trends for the national disease prevention and health promotion objectives.
