关于公共卫生设计、测量与评价体系的思考

Thoughts on design,measurement and evaluation system in public health

公共卫生是社会为保护和促进民众健康而采取的行动,公共卫生实践除了需要预防医学的参与,还需要多学科共同参与。任何一项公共卫生实践都需要设计、测量与评价(DME),需要糅合多学科的原理和方法。为了便于比较和应用,整个DME过程均需标准化(DMES)。本文从DMES在公共卫生领域的现实需求、概念、研究领域和内容框架等方面进行总结,以期对现有公共卫生实践中的工作思路和方法提供参考。

Public health is an action taken by society to protect and promote people’s health.Public health practice requires not only the participation of preventive medicine,but the joint participation of multiple disciplines other than medicine.Any public health practice requires design,measurement and evaluation(DME).This process must incorporate multidisciplinary principles and methods.At the same time,in order to facilitate comparison and application,the entire DME process needs to be standardized(Standardization),generally referred to as DMES(design,measurement,evaluation and standardization in public health,DMES).This article summarizes and rethinks the needs,concepts,research fields and content framework of DMES in the field of public health,which will provide references for the working ideas and methods of public health practices.
