HEALTHY PEQPLE 2020
The new Healthy People report demonstrates that infrastructure development is critical to all the health topic areas in the
report.7 The key goals of the new report involve objectives related to health improvement, the development of environments
that promote good health, and teaching people ways to promote their good health and improve their health behaviors. The
job of the public health leader is to build infrastructure to provide a framework to address the social determinants of health.
The World Health Organization defined social determination of health as follows: 8
The complex, integrated, and overlapping social structures and economic systems responsible for most health inequities. These social
structures and economic systems include the social environment, physical environment, health services, and structural and societal factors.
Social determinants of health are shaped by the distribution of money, power, and resources throughout local communities, nations, and
the world.
A concern about building public health infrastructure for the year 2020 has led to the development of several emerging
issues, including tribal public health infrastructure, public health workforce disparities, public health agency accreditation,
public health systems research, and public health law. 9 Exhibit 7-1 presents the recommended objectives related to public
health infrastructure in the Healthy People 2020 document.10 These infrastructure objectives provide guidance to public
health leaders for some of their work and collaborative activities.
