DBH 9022: Health Equity

Healthy People 2030: An Overview

Healthy People 2030 is an initiative of the US Department of Health and Human Services that provides science-based, 10-year national objectives for improving the health of all Americans.  These objectives can be used by other agencies and local groups to inform their own work.

Healthy People 2030 represents the fifth iteration of these objectives.  You can see previous targets at the archive sites for Healthy People 2010 and Healthy People 2020.  The CDC also provides summaries of the objectives and progress for each.

Healthy People 2030's overarching goals are to:

  • 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.

Health People 2030 has 355 objectives, with each having a reliable data source, a baseline measure, and a target for specific improvements to be achieved by 2030.  These objectives fall within different topic areas, such as conditions, behaviors, population, or setting.  Each topic area is assigned to one or more lead agencies within the federal government, which is responsible for developing, tracking, monitoring, and reporting on the objectives.
