The specific populations included Asian, Black, Hispanic and Elderly Americans, and American Indians. Participants were asked to rank and offer advice on the 15 priority areas for which objectives have been developed (these are, for health promotion--reducing smoking and misuse of alcohol and drugs, exercise and fitness, improved nutrition, stress and violence control; for health protection--injury control, occupational safety and health, dental health protection, toxic and infectious agent control; for preventive health services--family planning, pregnancy and infant care, immunizations, sexually transmissible disease services, hypertension control); review strategies on ways to accomplish the health promotion objectives, recognizing social and economic circumstances that must be addressed simultaneously; and make recommendations based on these reviews for agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services, centered around the mechanisms available to the Department (grants to states and localities, research and demonstrations, monitoring and surveillance, dissemination, technical assistance, manpower development, and direct services). Overall comments and recommendations are summarized, and the views of participants in the sessions for each specific population are presented separately.
