Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The overall objective of the Healthy People program is to set goals for the nation's health over the next 10 years. The program aims to identify and prioritize national health issues, and establish specific, measurable objectives to improve the health of the American people. The program does not establish the DRI or identify national trends in food consumption, and while it may help to decrease health care costs, this is not its primary objective. Identifying leading causes of death in the United States may be part of the program's process, but it is not the overall objective.
