CORRECT CITATION FORMAT FOR HEALTHY PEOPLE WEBSITE
Reference page entry:
Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. (n.d.). Healthy People 2030. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
https://health.gov/healthypeopleLinks to an external site.
Italicize the title of the webpage only–like you see above.
Make sure the entry is constructed using a hanging indent and the title Healthy People is italicized.
The first time you cite within the text:
Parenthetical (at the end of a sentence): (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion [ODPHP], n.d.)
Narrative (at the beginning of a sentence): Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP, n.d.)
Then use the abbreviation every other time after:
Parenthetical (at the end of a sentence): (ODPHP, n.d.)
Narrative (at the beginning of a sentence): ODPHP (n.d.)
In your assignments, do not write According to Healthy People—it is not correct. Instead, reference the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, as this agency spearheads Healthy People 2030 initiative. Cite the source correctly using the guidelines above,

Writing effective research papers is vital for academic success. Academic writing is about effectively communicating a complex idea and backing that idea up with facts and compelling arguments. This is a level 4000 course; therefore, it is assumed you have advance knowledge of English grammar, punctuation, logic and organization, critical thinking, diction and vocabulary sentence composition, research writing, APA writing standards and style that college students should know.
This is an academic writing paper. This is NOT an opinion paper. Characteristics of academic writing include a formal tone, use of the third person rather than first-person perspective, a clear focus on the problem (obesity), and precise word choice. Academic writing is designed to convey agreed meaning about complex ideas or concepts for a group of scholarly experts. Again, this is an academic writing paper which will demonstrate a sound understanding of the topic of obesity.
This course uses Healthy People 2030.Links to an external site. Healthy People 2030 is a US government initiative, administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. Therefore, student research will be based upon US human populations and taken from US peer reviewed/scholarly journals, primary/empirical research. All population data will be based upon US human populations and retrieved from US credible and reliable websites and scholarly sources. US population and US population research is used to minimize external forces related to geographical influence of food, nutrition, weight status, physical activity, and obesity of specific populations.
