The long-term measures were identified to summarize and evaluate progress toward achieving the HHSP objectives. The long-term measures will be monitored throughout the decade to collectively illustrate the overall health and well-being of the people of Hawaiʻi and demonstrate improvements. Long-term measures will be reviewed and updated periodically as changes are made to the HHSP.

The long-term measures are broad measures that help assess progress toward achieving the Healthy Hawaiʻi Vision 2030.
