Leading Health Indicators for Healthy People 2010 : Final Report

Healthy People is the nation's agenda for health promotion and disease prevention. The concept, first established in 1979 in a report prepared by the Office of the Surgeon General, has since been revised on a regular basis, and the fourth iteration, known as Healthy People 2010, will take the nation into the 21st century. Leading Health Indicators for Healthy People 2010: Final Report contains a number of recommendations and suggestions for the Department of Health and Human Services that address issues relevant to the composition of leading health indicator sets, data collection, data analysis, effective dissemination strategies, health disparities, and application of the indicators across multiple jurisdictional levels.Author: Committee on Leading Health Indicators for Healthy People 2010,author,Institute of Medicine,author,B Contributors: Committee on Leading Health Indicators for Healthy People 2010,author,Institute of Medicine,author,Bulger, Roger J.,editor,Chrvala Ph.D, Carole A.,editor Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 21 Apr 1999 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: National Academies Press Author/Director/Artist: Institute of Medicine Dimension (cm): 292x216x13 mm Package Dimension (cm): 13x292x216 mm Item Weight (g): 262 Package Weight (g): 272
