Speakers: Dushanka V. Kleinman, DDS, MScD, Derek M. Griffith, PhD, Leslie Ray, MPH, MPPA, MA,  and Angela Graham, MPH, CPH

Healthy People provides science-based, 10-year national objectives for improving the health of all Americans by encouraging collaborations across communities and sectors and empowering individuals toward making informed health decisions. Healthy People 2030, the initiative’s fifth iteration, builds on the knowledge gained over the first 4 decades. In part one of this two-part webinar series, presenters will explore the Healthy People (HP) 2030 framework and several differences from Healthy People 2020; and identify case examples of applying new objectives in program planning and evaluation related to health equity and social determinants of health.

Learning Objectives:

1) Describe at least three foundational principles and rationale for Healthy People 2030’s approach.
2) Communicate at least two overarching goals that underlie decisions about the initiative.
3) Discuss how HP 2030 can be used to advance social determinants of health and health equity.
