Abstract: Healthy People 2010 (1), the U.S. blueprint for improving population health, captured the attention of public health practitioners across the world with its bold and explicit commitment to eliminating health disparities.The document outlines a compendium of health care system and individual behavioral change objectives to be achieved toward this end.However, one of the more insightful statements in the document is often overlooked: Healthy People 2010 recognizes that communities, States, and national organizations will need to take a multidisciplinary approach to achieving health equity -an approach that involves improving health, education, housing, labor, justice, transportation, agriculture, and the environment, as well as data collection itself.
