Overall, the CDC analysis shoved that only 18% of the nearly 1,000 objectives have been achieved so far. In 23% of the goals [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Americans actually backslid.
Although data from different health agencies and organizations is still trickling in, a preliminary analysis by the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that, not surprisingly, weight goals were not achieved. Actually, not only were objectives not met, but also the weight trend moved further away from the goal. Indeed [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Healthy People 2010 strove for a reduction of obese adults from around 25% (back in 2000) to 15%. However, around 34% of adults are now obese, according to the latest federal estimates.
Since 1980, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services sets goals and objectives to improve Americans' health. This initiative, dubbed "Healthy People," was the first of its kind and was soon imitated by states and other countries. The last decade's goals were quite ambitious and the analysis showed that Americans have made progress in a few areas, but still have a lot of work to do.

A National Opinion Research Center report called "Healthy People User Study" identified barriers to the use of Healthy People 2010 among state, local and tribal health organizations. Because success in achieving the Healthy People goals is strongly dependent on communities and community partnerships, breaking down these barriers is paramount. The Healthy People User Study demonstrated that awareness and use of Healthy People has grown over time, but that more efforts are still needed to educate local and tribal health organizations. The study also demonstrated that the lack of implementation guidelines is the leading obstacle to use among non-users of Healthy People.
