Healthy People provides science-based, ten-year national objectives for improving the health of Americans and offers a strategic framework to align health promotion and disease prevention activities at all levels. Healthy People is grounded in the principle that setting national objectives and monitoring progress can motivate action. The HHS Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) currently is assessing where we are in meeting our national Healthy People 2020 objectives, conducting a user study, and beginning work to develop Healthy People 2030 (HP2030). This presentation will describe the initial steps in the development process including: establishing a Federal advisory committee, identifying workgroups and committees to develop a focused set of objectives framed around health determinants and risk factors that address high-impact public health challenges, and opportunities for engagement and comment by the public.
The development of HP2030 is a complex process that will build upon the work, successes, and lessons learned from previous iterations of Healthy People to ensure the integrity of the objectives, consensus, and transparency. To be effective in this arena while adapting HP2030 to reflect public health priorities and technological advancements, we anticipate adopting a number of strategies to engage a broad range of stakeholders to better integrate this initiative within multiple policy fields.
This presentation will look at effective strategies to develop HP2030 over the next several years. Recognizing that multiple partners and stakeholders should be engaged in this process, the presentation will allow time for audience feedback into the process and recommendations for deeper engagement.
