The three areas that Healthy People has identified for public health action for the year 2020 using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health include improving the conditions of life for persons with disabilities; addressing the inequitable distribution of resources among people with disabilities and those without disabilities; and expanding the knowledge base and raising awareness about determinants of health for people with disabilities.
