Publisher's Synopsis
Healthy People 2020 provides a national agenda for improving the health of all Americans by identifying specific objectives in 42 topic areas. The objectives were developed through a multiyear process incorporating input from a diverse group of individuals and organizations coordinated by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Reproductive health goals are addressed in eight of the 42 topic areas in Healthy People 2020. The family planning goals most extensively address reproductive health issues. The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the lead agency for developing and addressing the 15 family planning objectives. This publication highlights the 62 Healthy People 2020 objectives that OPA determined most directly address reproductive health. These objectives are included in the eight topic areas highlighted in blue.
