Depression in Japan

An important component of this paper is creating a novel goal statement.  A novel goal statement should be:

Creative – after researching your country and corresponding health problem, develop a novel goal which you feel would make an impact
Concise – 1 to 2 sentences
Measurable – we should be able to determine if a goal has been met.
Specific – a goal statement should include one problem and one population.
Realistic (if you are unsure about a goal’s realism, I recommend you review goal statements from Healthy People 2020: .
Contain 4 components within the verbiage of the statement: who, what, how much, and by when (see below for example)
Example problem: Social consequences such as hearing loss among German elderly adults leading to social isolation.

Example goal statement: Our goal is to improve the identification of hearing loss by screening and subsequent provision of hearing aids to elderly adults.  German elderly adults between the ages of 70 – 85 (who) will result in a 10% (how much) increase in screening and hearing aid use (what) within the next 5 years (by when). Notice the goal statement includes the 4 required components: who, what, how much and by when.
