Book excerpt: Abstract: These hearings discuss the quality of U.S. health statistics and progress in reaching national health goals, especially the goals related to the Public Health Service's Year 2000 objectives for the nation. There are five specific goals of the Year 2000 program. These are: to reduce infant mortality to no more than seven deaths per 1,000 live births; to increase life expectancy to at least 78 years; to reduce disability caused by chronic conditions to no more than 6 percent of all people; to increase the years of healthy life to at least 65 years; and to decrease the disparity in life expectancy between white and minority populations to no more than 4 years. Accurate health statistics are required to evaluate the effectiveness of the strategies and programs being utilized to pursue these goals.
