Hello Students,
Just wanted to get your creative minds thinking about your RUA Projects. You will need to actually pick a topic and start looking at how you will try to make a change and support one of the Healthy People Health Indicators and Objectives.
The Healthy People initiative is designed to guide national health promotion and disease prevention efforts to improve the health of the nation.
How many Healthy People initiatives are there you ask?
Healthy People 2030 sets data-driven national objectives to improve health and well-being over the next decade. Healthy People 2030 includes 358 core, or measurable objectives as well as developmental and research objectives. That is a lot of ideas to choose from for your project! The Healthy People initiative is designed to guide national health promotion and disease prevention efforts to improve the health of the entire nation. Released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) every decade since 1980, Healthy People identifies science-based objectives with targets to monitor progress and motivate and focus action. Healthy People has established benchmarks in order to:
Identify nationwide health improvement priorities.
Increase public awareness and understanding of the determinants of health, disease, and disability and the opportunities for progress.
Provide measurable objectives and goals that are applicable at the national, State, and local levels.
Engage multiple sectors to take action to strengthen policies and improve practices that are driven by the best available evidence and knowledge.
Identify critical research, evaluation, and data collection needs.
Healthy People 2030 is the fifth round of the initiative and continues on with about 350 core objectives to be tracked over the next decade. If you start to explore the website you can actually see if there is progress being made, no change, or if there is data now showing improvement!
