  4. Question? • What was the life expectancy at birth the year 1900? • 47.3 years • What is the life expectancy today (2010)? • 77.9 years

  5. What is Life Expectancy Worldwide?

  6. Where does the US rank vs. the World? • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy

  7. About Healthy People • Provides science-based, 10 year national objectives for improving the health of all Americans • Serves as the foundation for prevention efforts across the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). • Supports HHS efforts to create a healthier Nation

  8. Mission of Healthy People 2020 • Identify nationwide health improvement priorities. • Increase public awareness and understanding of the determinants of health, disease, and disability. • Provide measurable objectives and goals that are applicable at the national, State, and local levels. • Engage multiple sectors to take actions to strengthen policies and improve practices. • Identify critical research, evaluation, and data collection needs.

  9. Healthy People 2020 • Contains 42 topic areas • 600 objectives which encompass 1,200 measures • A smaller set of Healthy People 2020 objectives, called Leading Health Indicators, has been selected to communicate high-priority health issues • The process of selecting the Leading Health Indicators (LHIs) was completed by approximately 50 members across the HHS and other Federal departments

  10. What do you think are the 12 Leading Health Indicator Topics?

  11. Healthy People 2020 Leading Health indicators: • Access to health services • Clinical preventive services (includes immunizations and infectious diseases) • Environmental health • Injury and violence • Maternal, infant, and child health • Mental health • Nutrition, physical activity, and obesity • Oral health • Reproductive and sexual health (includes STDS) • Social determinants • Substance abuse • Tobacco

  12. Health Disparities • Health disparities refer to differences between groups of people. These differences can affect how frequently a disease affects a group, how many people get sick, or how often the disease causes death. • Many different populations are affected by disparities. These include: • Racial and ethnic minorities • Residents of rural areas • Women, children, the elderly • Persons with disabilities

  13. HP 2020 Project • Secretary Sebelius has hired you to help develop the new plan. • You are a public health educator: • Choose one of the 42 topic areas (see handout) • Decide why this topicis a serious public health issue to you and our nation • Choose one of the objective under the topic to focus on • Establish a campaign (PSA) around this objective that can hopefully change the US life expectancy number in 2020

  14. Campaign (PSA) Ideas • Rap song / Rock song lyrics • Video (commercial, PSA, role playing, etc.) • Cartoon strip • Poster, bulletin board, billboard, etc. • Pamphlet/Flyer/Brochure
