Description:
Health, United States, 1983 is the eighth annual 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(a)(2) of the Public Health Service Act as amended. It presents statistics concerning recent trends in the health care sector and detailed discussions of selected current health issues. This report was compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics, Offlice of the Assistant Secretary for Health. The National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics served in a review capacity.

This volume also contains the second issue of the triennial report Prevention Projiie, submitted by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to the President and the Congress of the United States in compliance with Section 404 of Title IV of the Health Services and Centers Amend­ ments of f 978 (Public Law 95-626). Although the legislation gave primary responsibility for preparation of the profile to the National Center for Health Statistics, the report was developed in cooperation with the OffIce of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. This profile is an integral part of the Department’s health promotion efforts and the goals included in Healthy People: The Surgeon General’s Report on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. The objectives contained in Promoting Health/Preventing Disease: Objectives for the Nation provided the base for a tracking system. The 1983 profile delineates particular health promotion objectives and presents available data to measure and evaluate the progress that has taken place since the ob­ jectives were established.
