Abstract: Specific and quantifiable objectives are established and delineated for each of 15 priority areas identified in the 1979 Surgeon General's report for the use of private and public sector organizations. The objectives were developed from an effort involving more than 500 individuals and organizations from both the private and governmental sectors, and from initial drafts by 167 invited experts at the 1979 Atlanta conference. Among the 15 topics covered are: pregnancy and infant health; immunization; toxic agent control; nutrition; and control of stress and violent behavior. Policy makers will be able to use the established objectives to track the Nation's successes or failures in disease prevention in the years to come. (wz).
