Discussion Question
When reviewing the goals of Healthy People 2030 (HP2030) on its website, it becomes apparent there are implications of the use of epidemiological data when designing policies and measuring success in achieving public health goals. Evaluate the following overarching HP2030 goals:
Attain healthy, thriving lives and well-being free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death.
Eliminate health disparities, achieve health equity, and attain health literacy to improve the health and well-being of all.
Create social, physical, and economic environments that promote attaining the full potential for health and well-being for all.
Promote healthy development, healthy behaviors, and well-being across all life stages.
Engage leadership, key constituents, and the public across multiple sectors to take action and design policies that improve the health and well-being of all.
Healthy People 2030 goals are overarching and very broad. Under these goals are more specific objectives. This link provides you information on the Healthy People 2030 objectives and data: https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data. Choosing an objective will help you explain how epidemiology and data are used to track progress of these goals.
For example under heart disease, you could choose blood pressure control among adults https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectives/heart-disease-and-stroke/increase-control-high-blood-pressure-adults-hds-05.
Here you can find baseline data, target setting data, and progress towards the target.
