Healthy People 2030 Database (Data2030)

Each objective contains a data source and a national baseline value. The baselines use valid and reliable data derived from currently established, generally nationally representative data systems. Baseline data provide the point from which a 2030 target is set (unless the objective is informational). For each objective, technical specifications describe the methodology for assessing progress. The technical specifications define the measure and include information about the data source, baseline details (numerator, denominator, and questions used to collect the data), target, target-setting method, and other relevant items. If, over time, changes are made to the data or any of the components related to assessing progress, the data and/or technical specification will be updated to reflect the revisions. Data used to track the Healthy People 2030 objectives are based on events occurring in the 50 States and the District of Columbia, whenever possible. Unless specifically noted, all objectives exclude data for U.S. territories. The data used to track most population-based Healthy People 2030 objectives are derived from either a national census of events (for example, the National Vital Statistics System) or from nationally representative sample surveys (for example, the National Health Interview Survey).
