Modifications to Objectives and Subobjectives

The following discussion highlights the modifications, including changes, additions, and deletions, to this focus area's objectives and subobjectives as a result of the midcourse review.

During the Healthy People 2010 Midcourse Review, new baseline measures were identified for objectives 3-1 through 3-8, 3-9b, 3-10h, 3-12a, and 3-14. Targets were adjusted for objectives 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-5 through 3-8, 3-9b, and 3-12a. The target setting method for objective 3-14, to increase the number of States with population-based cancer registries, was modified due to changes in data collection methods; however, the target did not change. Measurement of subobjective 3-12b was modified to include protoscopy and colonoscopy, as well as sigmoidoscopy, as a measure of lower endoscopic colorectal cancer screening.
