**What      is DATA2010?**DATA2010 is an interactive database system developed by staff of the      Division of Health Promotion Statistics at the National Center for Health      Statistics and contains the most recent monitoring data for tracking      Healthy People 2010. Data are included for all the objectives and      subgroups identified in the **Healthy      People 2010: Objectives for Improving Health**. DATA2010 contains      primarily national data. However, state-based data are provided as      available.

Healthy People 2010      contains 467 objectives that identify specific measures to monitor health      in the first decade of the 21st Century. Each objective includes a      statement of intent, a baseline value for the measure to be tracked, and a      target to be achieved by the year 2010. Objectives may include more than      one measure. Each measure is shown separately in the database. Data for      the population-based objectives may be presented separately for select      populations, such as racial, gender, educational attainment, or income      groups. The objectives are organized into **28      focus areas**, each representing an important public health area. 

**How      to access DATA2010**      To access DATA2010, click on Go to DATA2010 above. This will take the user      to the CDC WONDER system. The user will be asked to either sign in as an      anonymous user or a returning CDC WONDER user. Once the user has signed      on, the system will go directly to DATA2010.

**Information      included in data tables**      This interactive system allows users to query an up-to-date database and      construct tables. Tables can be constructed for specific objectives or for      objectives identified by focus areas or by select population. Each table      includes a short title, baseline data, target, any available updates, and      data source, if requested, for each objective.

Objectives are listed      by number, e.g., 01-05 or 27-13, where the first number refers to the      focus area and the second refers to the sequential order of the objective      within the focus area. Some objectives include several measures, or      sub-objectives. These sub-objectives are denoted with a lowercase letter      following the objective number, e.g., 27-05a, 27-05b, etc.

Each objective in the      table is indicated with the objective number and short title. If select      populations are requested, the population will be indicated at the      beginning of the data line. The data line in the table associates the      objective with the Healthy People 2010 baseline data year, the baseline      value, data for subsequent years, and the target. The baseline value is      the number, percentage or rate that has been calculated for the baseline      year, i.e., the first year of the monitoring period. Data entries in the      table may have been calculated from information obtained over multiple      years. If so, a special note about the data issue will be included in the      table specifying the multiple years. Other data note topics include an      indication if the data are not nationally representative, the use of      preliminary data to calculate the value, data that are not nationally      representative, and other data issues. NOTE: To see the data issue notes,      Include data issues in the table must be selected when the table is      generated.

If data are not      available for a specific data cell, one of four entries is shown. DNA      indicates that data are available, but they have not yet been analyzed.      DNC indicated that these data are not currently collected by the data      source listed. DSU means that the data are statistically unreliable. This      situation occurs when a value can be produced from the data source, but      the number of respondents is too small to be valid, the proportion of      respondents with missing information is too large, or the survey does not      have representative data for certain population groups. NA indicates that      the table entry is not applicable for the objective.

At the end of the      table, the data sources for each of the objectives are listed by objective      number. Also, any notes about data issues will appear at the end of the      table if this option has been selected. 

**How      to construct data tables**The user can select objectives to be included in the table using one      of four methods. (1) Objectives can be selected by focus area. Under this      method, the user can choose to include any additional **related      objectives** to the focus area identified as directly relevant to      the issues addressed in that area. (2) A specific objective can be      requested using the objective number. (3) Key words can be used to search      for objectives that target specific issues, regardless of focus area. (4)      Objectives that address population-based issues include information on      subpopulations of people in the United States. The user can specify a      specific subpopulation and DATA2010 will return all objectives that      provide data on that population.

**How      to export data**Once a table has been generated, the user can choose options available      at the end of the table to export a file containing the table. The table      can be exported as an ASCII file, a comma-delimited file, or an HTML data      file.
