Abstract
The Public Health/Health Administration (PH/HA) Caucus’s work in developing Structured Evidence Queries (SEQs) for Healthy People 2030’s leading health indicators, an initiative from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) aimed at improving the nation’s health in measurable ways highlights their search validation strategy and plans for outreach and assessment as the project nears completion. The SEQs, developed for PubMed, are designed to measure progress toward specified health outcomes while addressing health disparities and promoting health equity. The team collaboratively developed and peer-reviewed these SEQs, refining criteria and creating a validation strategy using resources from HHS. Plans for outreach and assessment are underway, with promotion targeting policymakers, researchers, and librarians. By combining traditional public health frameworks with peer-reviewed search strategies, this initiative emphasizes equitable access to reliable, high-quality information to advance national health priorities and support evidence-based decision-making.
