Most developmental objectives have a potential data source with reasonable expectation of data points by the year 2004 to facilitate setting year 2010 targets in the mid-decade review. Developmental objectives that do not have a baseline at the midcourse will be dropped. Population Group Data Table Because eliminating health disparities is a goal of Healthy People 2010, a standard data table is used to display the current status of population groups for population-based objectives. This standard table consists of a set of population variables that are to be considered a minimum breakout set for data collection. Within each category in the table, groups are alphabetized.
Some objectives show more detailed or additional breakouts of population groups.
The following are additional categories included where appropriate. Data have not been analyzed. Data are not collected. Data are statistically unreliable. Age adjusted to the year 2000 standard population.
