The Healthy People 2010 goals and objectives have served as the framework for establishing outcomes for virtually every public health planning process in the United States from National Institutes of Health grants to federal health programs and to state and local health plans. Although an initial process produced a Draft Model with 4 guiding principles and a proposal for a smaller number of objectives for Healthy People 2020, a specific framework has not yet been decided and will be established after a series of public hearings.1 SN - 0098-7484 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.299.17.2081 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.299.17.2081 ER -
