1990年,《2000年健康人目标》确定了三个主要目标,以促进全国的健康和预防疾病。这些目标是(1)增加美国人健康生活的时间,(2)减少美国人之间的健康差距,(3)实现所有美国人获得预防服务。虽然所有族裔群体的预期寿命总体上都有所增加,但非洲裔美国人和白色美国人之间的差异继续存在(69.1岁对76.1岁)。非裔美国人的进展报告显示,在48个非裔美国人的子目标中,有35%的子目标与目标相反,而白人的子目标中只有18%的子目标是错误的。1990- 1992年,非裔美国人在75岁之前的年龄调整潜在寿命损失年数高于所有种族(分别为每10万人15,468年和每10万人8,384年)。由于1993年有20.5%的非洲裔美国人没有保险,因此获得正规医疗保健的机会受到限制。由于历史上的社会经济和政治因素,非裔美国人继续面临严重的健康问题。现在距离实现2000年健康人民目标只剩下几年时间了,因此需要对少数民族群体,特别是非裔美国人作出重大改进。卫生教育可有助于实现这些国家目标,而社区卫生博览会是促进健康的最受认可的模式之一。
In 1990, three main goals were set by the Healthy People 2000 objectives in a national attempt to promote health and to prevent disease. These goals were (1) to increase the span of healthy life for Americans, (2) to reduce health disparities among Americans, and (3) to achieve access to preventive services for all Americans.1 The Healthy People 2000 Midcourse Review and 1995 Revisions documented the nation's progress toward meeting these goals. Although life expectancy has increased overall across all ethnic groups, differences continue to exist between African Americans and white Americans (69.1 years vs. 76.1 years). The progress report for African Americans indicated that 35 percent of the 48 subobjectives for African Americans proceeded in the direction opposite to the targeted goals, while only 18 percent of the subobjectives for whites were going in the wrong direction. The 1990-92 age-adjusted years of potential life lost before the age of 75 was higher for African Americans compared with all races (15,468 per 100,000 and 8,384 per 100,000, respectively). Because 20.5 percent of African Americans were not insured in 1993, access to a regular source of health care was restricted. Because of historic socioeconomic and political factors, African Americans continue to face serious health problems. With only a few years remaining to meet the Healthy People 2000 objectives, major improvements are needed for ethnic minority groups in general and African Americans in particular. Health education could help to meet these national objectives and the community-based health fair represents one of the most recognizable modes of promoting health.2
