Targets were adjusted for those objectives for which a change was made to the
total population baseline data point after the publication of Healthy People
2010. Baseline data were changed for a variety of reasons including
revisions in methodology, survey questions, baseline year, and population
denominators. Baseline data for several objectives were revised to accommodate
updated public health recommendations. In several cases, baseline data were
revised because the previously published data were based on preliminary
analyses. Target revisions were not made in cases in which the baseline data
for a select population had changed but data for the total population were
unchanged.
The method used to adjust the target for an objective with a revised baseline
for the total population depended on the original target-setting method
outlined in Healthy People 2010.
Targets based on "better than the best" racial/ethnic subgroup were revised
using the same percent improvement from the racial/ethnic group with the
"best" rate as was computed for the original target.
Targets based on percent improvement were revised using the original percent
improvement.
Targets based on total elimination, total coverage, or consistent with another
program were not revised.
