ABSTRACT

The 2008 User Study provides an updated snapshot of awareness and use of Healthy People 2010 three-quarters of the way through the decade, allowing for an assessment of whether use is changing over time; identifying barriers to use of Healthy People 2010 among state, local and tribal health organizations; and offering insight to assist HHS in preparing the next iteration of national health objectives, Healthy People 2020.
