After the session, which statement by a participant indicates an understanding of the initiatives?
1. "It will allow health care providers to lobby legislators for more funding."
2. "The primary goal of Healthy People 2020 is to assist health care providers in determining risk factors for premature birth."
3. "Healthy People 2020 seeks to promote health, prevent illness, disability, and premature death."
4. "The initiatives will outline standards of care for providers in managing diseases."
Correct Answer: 3
The Healthy People 2020 initiative is a 10-year strategy intended to promote health, prevent illness, disability, and premature death. The document identifies leading health indicators that reflect public health concerns. Risk factors for premature birth may be part of those health indicators, but the scope of the document covers broad areas of concern. Health care providers and other persons interested in programs to promote health have found the document to be a useful source of information in their efforts to gain funding. Standards of care in disease management are not a component of the document.
