Abstract: Healthy People provides a strategic framework for a national prevention agenda that communicates a vision for improving health and achieving health equity. Each decade, Healthy People provides science-based, measurable objectives to be achieved by the end of each decade, and these objectives guide and focus action related to disease prevention and health promotion. Furthermore, Healthy People 2030 includes an overarching goal to "Eliminate health disparities, achieve health equity, and attain health literacy to improve the health and well-being of all." This presentation's aim is to highlight health disparities in the AANAPI population as a result of greater social, economic, and/or environmental obstacles
