Seven task forces were formed to analyze data and set health goals. Members of the task forces included health care workers, health care consumers, human service personnel, and representatives of business and labor. Finalized goals for each priority area were distributed to the public during 1996. The priority areas included cancer, HIV/sexually transmitted diseases, mental health, maternal and infant health/family planning, alcohol and other drugs, heart disease and stroke, and physical fitness/nutrition.
