AB In  1979,  following  the  Surgeon  General's  report  on  the  health  of  the  nation,  the  U.S.  government  developed  a  national  prevention  agenda.  Today,  the  Office  of  Disease  Prevention  and  Health  Promotion  in  the  Department  of  Health  and  Human  Services  oversees  this  agenda  through  Healthy  People  2020.17,24,25  The  vision  for  Healthy  People  2020  is  "a  society  in  which  all  people  live  long,  healthy  lives."  The  four  overarching  goals  of  this  agenda  are:  (1)  attain  high  quality,  longer  lives  free  of  preventable  disease,  disability,  injury,  and  premature  death;  (2)  achieve  health  equity,  eliminate  disparities,  and  improve  health  of  all  groups;  (3)  create  social  and  physical  environments  that  promote  health  for  all;  and  (4)  promote  quality  of  life,  healthy  development  and  healthy  behaviors  across  all  life  stages.
