The following issues were raised during the session on
Thursday afternoon for your consideration. General: American Obesity Association
representative: Breastfeeding and Lactation
Consultants representative: Strategies that have failed in the past are reiterated in the document, would like to see document go one step further than laying out strategymajor problem is the lack of integration of one piece of health care promotion with another piece of health care promotion.

Anything with measures or requirements linked to his funding sources he will do and not HP 2010 if they're not coincident, e.g. performance measures for CDC; can't expect the use of HP 2010 unless the federal agencies' performance measurements are brought together. Issues of integration and alignment of federal agency data outcome objectives are not consistent. Problem with consistency in performance measures in these agencies: population planning Maternal Infant and Child Health Social ServiceTANF Oral Health: Physical Activity: Specific obj. 10 (on pg. 1-15): 50% of activity should be physical (not certain how obj. reads) but issue is doesn't assume quality, it's an isolated variable that may not be related to quality. Nutrition: Health challenges that
require more attention: Overall sense that there are too many objectives and nothing is prioritized. Should reduce by at least 20% HP 2010 objectives, at a minimum. Would like to see a chapter on Special Populations. It's difficult to figure out how to get information on special populations, what are the top 10 issues for each population.
