opportunities for public input periodically throughout the decade to
ensure that Healthy People 2020 reflects current public health
priorities.
You are now able to (a) comment on proposed new objectives to be added
to the Educational and Community-Based Programs and Social Determinants
of Health Topic Areas, and (b) propose new objectives to be included in 1
of the 42 existing Healthy People 2020 Topic
Areas.
