Answer: Food Safety and Teenage Pregnancy

Step-by-step explanation:

According to a report by CDC in 2016, the 10 most important public health problems and concerns are:

Harms related to Alcohol

Food Safety

Healthcare-associated infections

Heart disease and stroke

HIV

Injury caused by Motor vehicle

Nutrition, physical activity and obesity

Overdose of Prescription drug

Teenage pregnancy

Tobacco use

However, observing the 12 Topic Areas of Healthy People Initiative, stated below:

• Access to Health Services

● Clinical Preventive Services

● Environmental Quality

● Injury and Violence

● Maternal, Infant, and Child Health

● Mental Health

● Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity

● Oral Health

● Reproductive and Sexual Health

● Social Determinants

● Substance Abuse

● Tobacco

And also considering their 1300 objectives before 2030, you will see that Food Safety and Teenage Pregnancy is NOT a priority of the Healthy People Initiative.
