A goal is usually described in terms of: (1) What is to be attained (2) The extent to which it is to be attained (3) The population or the section of the environment involved (4) The geographic area in which the proposed programme will operate (5) The length of time required for attaining the goal Ref: Park's Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine By K.
