The gathering of over 1500 individuals, health professionals, and organizations in Washington, D.C., in January of 2000 undertook the task of outlining specific goals that would assist the U.S. population to avoid disease and maintain their health (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001). The result of this initiative was called Healthy People 2010 . For the next decade Healthy People has taken the 10 leading indicators to a renewed focus of identifying, measuring, tracking, and reducing health disparities through determinants of health approach.

Answer to Question 2

B
Florence Nightingale's (Nightingale, 1969 1860) definition of health is being well and using every power the individual possesses to the fullest extent. The New Oxford English Dictionary's (2005) definition of health is the state of being free from illness or injury. The definition of health by the World Health Organization (2006) is a state of complete physical, social, and mental well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Ray and Andrews (1999) define health as a state or process of being and becoming an integrated and whole person.
