History
Comparable HP2020 objective
Modified, which includes core objectives that are continuing from Healthy People 2020 but underwent a change in measurement.
Changes between HP2020 and HP2030
This objective differs from the related Healthy People 2020 objectives in that objectives FP-11.1 and FP-11.2 tracked sexually experienced females and males (respectively) aged 15 to 19 years who used a condom and hormonal contraception at first intercourse, while this objective tracks sexually active persons aged 15 to 19 who used any method of contraception at first intercourse.
