Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Prevention-oriented attributes should address health improvements that can be achieved through population-based and health service intervention. The objective attribute of drive action includes suggestion of steps that will achieve the proposed targets. Measurable should include a range of measures directed toward improving health outcomes and quality of life. Useful and relevant should be usable by states, localities, and private sector to target schools, communities, worksites, health practices, and other settings.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Healthy People 2000 identified three goals, which were to increase the span of healthy life for Americans; reduce health disparities among Americans; and achieve access to preventive services for all Americans. Healthy People 2010 identified two broad goals, which are to eliminate health disparities and to increase quality and years of healthy life. Healthy People 2020 identified four goals: attain high-quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death; achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups; create social and physical environments that promote good health for all; and promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages.
