New York State Prevention Agenda 2013-2018: Priorities, Focus Areas, Goals and Objectives, 1/25/2013 (revised March 16, 2015)
Priorities, Focus Areas, Goals and Objectives, 1/25/2013 original - Complete printable version (PDF, 115 KB)
A selected group of 96 Prevention Agenda objectives were chosen to be tracked annually for New York State. Data are available by county for 68 of these objectives, by healthcare plan for four objectives and by hospital for two objectives. Baseline and updated data will be published on the DOH Website.
Each priority-specific committee was charged with developing objectives for the general population, as well as objectives for reducing disparities for specific populations that are disproportionally impacted. The final set of measurable objectives was developed by reviewing indicators used in the National Prevention Strategy, County Health Rankings, America's Health Rankings, Healthy People 2020, and by the CDC and the New York State Department of Health. Committees selected indicators that were relevant to the priority-specific focus areas and goals; that represented process, short-term and long- term outcome indicators; and that can be measured with available data. Whenever possible, indicators with data available by county, race/ethnicity, disability and socioeconomic status were chosen. In many instances, disparity is measured by the ratio or the difference between the population of interest (e.g., Black, non-Hispanic, Hispanic, Medicaid) and the corresponding reference population (e.g., White non-Hispanic, non-Medicaid).
Objective targets were determined by reviewing historical data for each indicator. When the trend has been moving in a desirable direction, the committee projected an improvement of 5-10%, based on intervention strategies and resources. If, however, the trend has been moving in the wrong direction, the committee projected a smaller percent improvement (0-5%). When the indicator was a HP2020 objective, or other objective, committees tried to select the same target if, based on the committee's expertise, the target would be achievable within the five-year time frame.
Generally, an improvement of 10% was targeted for the majority of the five-year objectives. This amount is more ambitious than the HP2020 target setting method of 10% improvement over ten years.
Each Priority Committee Action Plan includes an extensive list of objectives. A subset of these objectives, shown below, was selected to track overall progress toward meeting plan objectives.
