    Background: Each decade since 1980, the Healthy People initiative 
has established and monitored national health objectives with 10-year 
targets to meet a broad range of health needs, encourage collaborations 
across sectors, guide individuals toward making informed health 
decisions, and measure the impact of disease prevention and health 
promotion activities. Launched August 2020, the current iteration--
Healthy People 2030--leverages scientific insights and lessons from the 
past decade, along with the new knowledge of current data, trends, and 
innovations. Healthy People 2030 provides science- and evidence-based, 
10-year national objectives for promoting health and preventing disease 
and sets targets to be achieved by the year 2030. It identifies public 
health priorities that address the major risks to health and well-being 
and serves as a resource for preventing disease, promoting health, 
addressing SDOH and health literacy, eliminating health disparities, 
and achieving health equity. Healthy People 2030 reflects input from 
the Secretary's Advisory Committee on National Health Promotion and 
Disease Prevention; the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, 
and Medicine; a technical expert panel; subject matter experts from 
across HHS and other federal agencies; and members of the public via 
multiple public comment periods. ODPHP leads and manages the 
development and implementation of Healthy People 2030 on behalf of HHS.
    The Healthy People 2030 framework and objectives outline the 
nation's plan for achieving the Healthy People 2030 vision of a society 
in which all people can achieve their full potential for health and 
well-being across the lifespan. Healthy People 2030's framework 
includes its vision, mission, overarching goals, guiding foundational 
principles, and is supported by over 350 specific measurable objectives 
with targets, LHIs, and OHMs. Healthy People 2030 serves as a resource 
and provides user-centered tools for disease prevention and health 
promotion, including science-based objectives, national and population-
level data, evidence-based resources, and SDOH literature summaries. 
Detailed information about Healthy People 2030 is available at https://health.gov/healthypeople.
