Description:"Health, United States, 1992 is the 17th report on the health status of the Nation submitted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services to the President and Congress of the United States in compliance with Section 308 of the Public Health Service Act. This volume also contains the 1992 Healthy People 2000 Review, first in a series of profiles tracking the Year 2000 objectives, submitted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services to the President and the Congress of the United States in compliance with the Health Services and Centers Amendments of 1978. These reports were compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics served in a review capacity, Health, United States, 1992 presents national trends in public health statistics. The 145 detailed tables in this year's report are organized around four major subject areas --health status and determinants, utilization of health resources, health care resources, and health care expenditures. The detailed tables are designed to show trends in health statistics. A major criterion used in selecting the detailed tables is the availability of comparable national data over a period of several years. Similar tables appear in each volume of Health, United States to enhance the use of this publication as a standard reference source. Data are reported for selected years to highlight major trends. Several tables in Health, United States, 1992 present data according to race and or Hispanic origin consistent with department-wide emphasis on expanding racial and ethnic detail in the presentation of health data. The large differences in health status according to race and Hispanic origin that are documented in this report may be explained by several factors including socioeconomic status, health practices, psychosocial stress and resources, environmental exposures, and access to health care." - p. iii
