	Introduction
	Healthy People 2010 presents a comprehensive, nationwide health promotion and disease prevention agenda.  It is designed to serve as a roadmap for improving the health of all people in the United States during the first decade of the 21st century.
	Like the preceding Healthy People 2000 initiative—which was driven by an ambitious, yet achievable, 10-year strategy for improving the Nation’s health by the end of the 20th century—Healthy People 2010 is committed to a single, overarching purpose: promoting health and preventing illness, disability, and premature death.
	The History Behind the Healthy People 2010 Initiative
	Healthy People 2010 is grounded in science, built through public consensus, and designed to measure progress.Healthy People 2010 builds on initiatives pursued over the past two decades.  In 1979, Healthy People: The Surgeon General’s Report on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention provided national goals for reducing premature deaths and preserving independence for older adults.  In 1980, another report, Promoting Health/Preventing Disease: Objectives for the Nation, set forth 226 targeted health objectives for the Nation to achieve over the next 10 years.
	Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives, released in 1990, identified health improvement goals and objectives to be reached by the year 2000.  The Healthy People 2010 initiative continues in this tradition as an instrument to improve health for the first decade of the 21st century.
	The Development of Healthy People 2010 Goals and Objectives - Healthy People 2010 represents the ideas and expertise of a diverse range of individuals and organizations concerned about the Nation’s health. The Healthy People Consortium—an alliance of more than 350 national organizations and 250 State public health, mental health, substance abuse, and environmental agencies—conducted three national meetings on the development of Healthy People 2010. In addition, many individuals and organizations gave testimony about health priorities at five Healthy People 2010 regional meetings held in late 1998.
	On two occasions—in 1997 and in 1998—the American public was given the opportunity to share its thoughts and ideas. More than 11,000 comments (138 from ACHA) on draft materials were received by mail or via the Internet from individuals in every State, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. All the comments received during the development of Healthy People 2010 can be viewed on the Healthy People Web site: http://www.health.gov/healthypeople/.
	The final Healthy People 2010 objectives were developed by teams of experts from a variety of Federal agencies under the direction of Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala, Assistant Secretary for Health and Surgeon General David Satcher, and former Assistant Secretaries for Health. The process was coordinated by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
