Healthy Vermonters 2010 Objectives
- Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
Healthy People 2010 is a set of health objectives for the nation to achieve over the first decade of the new century. It can be used by many different people, states, communities, professional organizations, and others to help develop programs to improve health. Our Healthy Vermonters 2010 objectives are an expanded and modified version of these goals.
Healthy People 2010 builds on initiatives pursued over the past two decades. The US Surgeon General's 1979 Report, Healthy People, and Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives, both established national health objectives and served as the basis for the development of state and community plans.
Like its predecessors, Healthy People 2010 was developed through a broad consultation process, built on the best scientific knowledge and designed to measure programs over time.
