HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 IMPACT
The Healthy People initiative is charged with the ultimate goal of improving the health of
the American public utilizing evidence-based practices. “Healthy People 2020 contains 42 topic
areas with over 1,200 objectives” (Healthy People 2020, 2019). The topic of interest this paper
covers is Maternal, Infant, and Child Health. The topic covers a wide spectrum of subtopics, but

the economy with direct costs, in healthcare due to an increased risk of developing obesity-
associated diseases that need treatment, and indirect costs related to sick leave, reduced
productivity, and premature death (p. 175).
