NOTE: Table 9 has been replaced because Objective 9.6 rows b-g were
omitted from original copy (11/2001).
At the end of the decade, the most recent data indicate that 68
objectives (21 percent) met the year 2000 targets and an additional 129
(41 percent) showed movement toward the targets. Data for 35 objectives
(11 percent) showed mixed results and 7 (2 percent) showed no change
from the baseline. Only 47 objectives (15 percent) showed movement away
from the targets. The status of 32 objectives (10 percent) could not be
assessed.
One
of the major accomplishments includes surpassing the target for
reducing deaths from coronary heart disease and cancer.
The Nation also made progress toward the goal of reducing health
disparities for more than one-half of the special population objectives
identified to be at increased risk by Healthy People 2000.
Another important development for the next decade is the publication
Tracking
Healthy People 2010. As a guidebook on the statistics used for
Healthy People, it will assist programs at the local, State, and
national levels in producing and using the required data. Healthy People
2000 Final Review is available on the NCHS Web site.
