About the National Data
Data
Baseline: 8.5 percent of adults aged 35 years and over received all of the recommended high priority appropriate clinical preventive services in 2015
Target: 11.5 percent
Numerator
Number of adults aged 35 and over who have received all the appropriate clinical preventive services recommended for them.
Denominator
Number of eligible adults aged 35 years and over selected from the MEPS-Household Component to participate in the survey.
Target-setting method
Percentage point improvement
Target-setting method details
Percentage point improvement from the baseline using Cohen's h effect size of 0.10.
Target-setting method justification
Trend data were not available for this objective. A percentage point improvement was calculated using Cohen's h effect size of 0.1. This method was used because this is a new objective to Healthy People and only one data point was available. The Healthy People 2030 Workgroup Subject Matter Experts viewed this as an ambitious yet achievable target given the increasing emphasis on quality measurement and value-based care.

1. Effect size h=0.1 was chosen to correspond with 10% improvement from a baseline of 50%.
