As stated in Healthy People 2010: "Most developmental objectives have a potential data source with a reasonable expectation of data points by the year 2004 to facilitate setting 2010 targets in the mid-decade review. Developmental objectives with no baseline at the midcourse will be dropped." Accordingly, at the midcourse review, some developmental objectives and subobjectives were deleted because they lacked a data source. In addition, some objectives and subobjectives were deleted due to a change in science. However, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the agencies that serve as the leads for the Healthy People 2010 initiative will consider ways to ensure these public health issues retain prominence despite their current lack of data.
