A program objective needs a strong, action-oriented verb, a statement of a single purpose, a statement of a single result, and a time frame for achieving the expected result. Thus, the objec-tive is correct as written as it contains all of these components. The results are clear—to decrease the incidence of early childhood disease in Center County. The action verb is action orient-ed—by providing immunization clinics in all schools. The purpose is stated—to decrease the in-cidence of early childhood disease in Cedar County.
