Healthy People
Background and History
What is Healthy People?


■ A National agenda that communicates a
  vision for improving the population’s health
  and achieving health equity.
■ A set of specific, measurable objectives with
  targets to be achieved by the year 2020.
  These objectives are organized within
  distinct topic areas.
Why Do We Need a National Set
of Health Objectives?

1. Creates a comprehensive, strategic
   framework.

2. Requires tracking of data-driven
   outcomes.

3. Engages a network of stakeholders.

4. Guides national research, program
   planning, and policy efforts.

5. Establishes accountability.

 Development, Framework,
Topic Areas, and Objectives
Healthy People 2020 Mission

■ Identify nationwide health improvement priorities.

■ Increase public awareness and understanding of the
  determinants of health, disease, and disability and the
  opportunities for progress.

■ Provide measurable objectives and goals that are
  applicable at the national, State, and local levels.

■ Engage multiple stakeholders to take actions to
  strengthen policies and improve practices that are
  driven by the best available evidence and knowledge.

■ Identify critical research, evaluation, and data collection
  needs.
Social Determinants of Health
Understanding a broader view of
“Determinants of Health”
Why are the determinants of
health important?

The rationale for focusing on determinants
includes:
■ The need to move beyond controlling
  disease to address factors that are root
  causes of disease;
■ The importance of achieving health equity;
  and
■ Practical considerations related to national
  prosperity and security.
Multi-Sectoral Efforts are
Needed

■ Health is created through the conditions of
  our daily lives
■ The commitment of all is needed:
  – To implement evidence-based strategies to
    improve health, and
  – To build the evidence base for such strategies.
Social determinants of health:
A new area of focus for HP2020


■ A video on Social Determinants of Health is
  viewable on the Healthy People 2020 website
  at:
  http://healthypeople.gov/2020/about/DOHAbout.aspx
■ A new topic area narrative explaining social
  determinants of health is available on the
  Healthy People 2020 website.
■ New objectives addressing social determinants
  of health are under development for Healthy
  People 2020.

Editor's Notes

  1. The number of objectives has increased with each decade. Healthy People 1990 released 226 objectives, Healthy People 2000 included 312 objectives, Healthy People 2010 identified 467 objectives with 1,000 measures, and Healthy People 2020 has almost 1,200 measures.As you can see, the objectives for Healthy People 2020 are described differently. That’s because we have adopted a new system of nomenclature to make things easier for everyone. In the past we had objectives and subobjectives. Now, we describe anything with a target as being an objective. This decade’s expansion for Healthy People 2020 occurred because both our Advisory Committee (made up of public health experts) and our Federal Interagency Workgroup felt that our Internet capabilities have vastly improved and can handle the load. And the larger number of objectives allows us to relate to more issues and stakeholders.
  2. As note earlier, the social determinants of health have been an important focus of Healthy People 2020 since the early stages of its development…
  3. The impact of interventions such as policies, programs, and information on determinants of health at multiple levels (e.g., individual; social, family and community; living and working conditions; and broad social, economic, cultural, health, and environmental conditions) to improve outcomes. The results of such interventions can be demonstrated through assessment, monitoring, and evaluation. Through dissemination of evidence-based practices and best practices, these findings would feed back to intervention planning to enable the identification of effective prevention strategies in the future.
  4. Achieving health requires more than just controlling disease. It requires us to assure conditions in which people can be healthy. Health results from the choices that people are able to make in response to the options that they have. Conditions in the social and physical environments determine the range of options that are available, their attractiveness, and their relative ease or difficulty of use. Extensive evidence points to ways that environmental factors influence health.A close examination of the underlying causes of specific diseases reveals many of the same factors are at play and, over time, can result in physiologic changes that exacerbate chronic disease. Therefore, focusing on these common underlying determinants has the potential to impact many different health and disease outcomes. Because the effects of determinants begin to take hold well before disease processes appear on the clinical horizons, addressing these factors can offer an opportunity to prevent or delay the development of disease.
  5. For three decades, the Healthy People initiative has led efforts to educate the nation that health is about more than the absence of disease, and is created through the conditions of our daily lives—not at the doctor’s office. Healthy People has long provided a vehicle for channeling diverse and distinct disease prevention and health promotion efforts throughout the U.S. toward the common goal of improving the nation’s health. It has offered an undergirding structure for tracking and monitoring health and disease, and has sought to inspire action by setting science-based targets for progress. As we begin a new decade, Healthy People 2020 re-energizes this long-standing vision, infusing it with a new focus on creating a society in which all people live long and healthy lives. Yet this vision cannot become reality without the active and deep engagement of many sectors of our society.Healthy People 2020 can be used as a tool to convene partners from across sectors—including housing, urban planning, education, transportation, and the environment— to improve the health of the nation. Indeed, examples of the type of multi-sectoral efforts needed to accomplish the goals of Healthy People and improve the health of the nation, are already occurring. An important example is the National Prevention Council, whose members include the Secretaries of the Departments of Agriculture, Education, Transportation, the FTC, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and others.
  6. The goals and objectives of Healthy People 2020 are intended to be aspirational, yet achievable. Translating noble aspirations into tangible progress will require the commitment of all to implementing evidence-based strategies to improve health, and to build the evidence base for such actions where it does not currently exist. A key focus of these efforts must be on addressing the social and physical environmental factors that affect population health.
  7. The Healthy People 2020 redesigned Web site was launched in December 2010.
  8. Here you can see the Index page for all the Healthy People 2020 topic areas. New topic areas that were added for 2020 are indicated by the “new” icon in red – including three life stages topic areas, social determinants of health, LGBT health, preparedness and others.
  9. Let’s look at the Tobacco Use topic area as an example. Each topic area contains 3 tabs: a narrative overview which is displayed here, objectives, and interventions and resources for that area.
  10. Here is the objectives page for Tobacco Use. Each objective contains baseline and target values, a target-setting method, and a data source (unless they are developmental). When you click on the “more information” link, it takes you to the HHS Health Indicators Warehouse…
  11. …where you can access all kinds of information about the data for each objective.
  12. For each topic area we currently have listed evidence-based interventions and recommendations from the US Preventive Services Task Force Clinical Guide, CDC Community Guide, and healthfinder Quick Guide for Healthy Living, when available (cue animation).
  13. The Implementing section of the Web site provides examples of implementation, planning and funding resources, links to State Healthy People plans, and the MAP-IT framework, which provides step-by-step guidance for developing an implementation plan.Each step of the MAP-IT process contains downloadable, printer-friendly tools and real-life examples from people using Healthy People (cue animation). The entire Implementation section will become more robust over the coming months and years.
  14. In summation, HHS has sought to engage stakeholders in a number of ways and make Healthy People 2020 a useful initiative. Interventions are provided on the web siteWebinars provide more in depth information on particular interventions or Topic AreaThe LHI App Challenge is an opportunity for public health to engage new stakeholders: programmers and developers.  Developers and public health experts must co-design an application that makes the leading health indicators customizable and easy to use. This challenge is open through March 9, 2012. Companion documents are being developed to help focus efforts on specific areas or populations, e.g., Healthy Youth and Rural Healthy People
