Increase the proportion of crisis and emergency risk messages embedded in print and broadcast news stories that present complete information (i.e., what is known, what is not known, and how or why the event happened)


Summary

This objective currently has developmental status, meaning it is a high-priority public health issue that has evidence-based interventions to address it, but doesn’t yet have reliable baseline data. Once baseline data are available, this objective may be considered to become a core Healthy People 2030 objective.
