Objectives and Subobjectives



Goal: Through prevention programs, reduce the disease and economic burden of diabetes, and improve the quality of life for all persons who have or are at risk for diabetes.

As a result of the Healthy People 2010 Midcourse Review, changes were made to the Healthy People 2010 objectives and subobjectives. These changes are specific to the following situations:

  • Changes in the wording of an objective to more accurately describe what is being measured.
  • Changes to reflect a different data source or new science.
  • Changes resulting from the establishment of a baseline and a target (that is, when a formerly developmental objective or subobjective became measurable).
  • Deletion of an objective or subobjective that lacked a data source.
  • Correction of errors and omissions in Healthy People 2010.

Revised baselines and targets for measurable objectives and subobjectives do not fall into any of the above categories and, thus, are not considered a midcourse review change.1

When changes were made to an objective, three sections are displayed:

  1. In the Original Objective section, the objective as published in Healthy People 2010 in 2000 is shown.
  2. In the Objective With Revisions section, strikethrough indicates text deleted, and underlining is used to show new text.
  3. In the Revised Objective section, the objective appears as revised as a result of the midcourse review.

Details of the objectives and subobjectives in this focus area, including any changes made at the midcourse, appear on the following pages.
