Impact of pooled procurement of medicines on patient adherence and economic burden
Background: Pooled procurement is widely adopted to improve medicine affordability, yet its impact on patients' medicine adherence and economic burden remains underexplored. This study addresses these gaps under China's National Volume-Based Procurement (NVBP) policy. Methods: Using claims data from Tianjin, China (2017-2020), we conducted a retrospective cohort study of new-users of NVBP antihypertensive medicines before and after policy impleme…
Testing the unintended cost effects of health policies for generic substitutions
Generic substitutions are globally considered to contain health expenditures. Yet it is uncertain whether the costs spill over to other medicines or health services. Contextualizing China’s National Volume-Based Procurement (NVBP) policy, which promoted generic substitution, this study tests the changes in patients’ utilization of generic medicines and whether the costs shift to other pharmaceutics or health services post-policy. This population-…

Medication adherence and costs of medical care among patients with Parkinson’s disease
APD adherence rate among Chinese patients with PD was moderate and related primarily to age, comorbidities, and healthcare costs. The factors should be considered when prescribing APDs
Exploring the impact of water, sanitation and hygiene (Wash), early adequate feeding and access to health care on urban–rural disparities of child malnutrition in China
To explore the effects of UNICEF-suggested modifiable factors, that is, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), early adequate feeding and health care on child malnutrition, and to examine the extent to which each factor contributes to urban-rural disparities of child malnutrition in China. Pooling two waves of regionally representative survey data from Jilin, China, in 2013 and 2018, we report on urban-rural relative risks (RRs) in the prevalence …
Determinants of Infant Young Child Feeding Among Mothers of Malnourished Children in South Punjab, Pakistan
Inadequate feeding is one of the most critical underlying determinants of child malnutrition. In this study, we explore infant young child feeding (IYCF) and deconstruct breastfeeding barriers in mothers of severely malnourished children in one of the most marginalized districts of Punjab province of Pakistan. Using purposive sampling, 20 lactating mothers are recruited for open-ended semi-structured interviews. Results reveal that barriers to im…
What Factors Predict the Adoption of Type 2 Diabetes Patients to Wearable Activity Trackers—Application of Diffusion of Innovation Theory
Background: Globally, diabetes has brought an enormous burden to public health resources, and the situation of disease burden caused by diabetes in China is especially severe. China is currently facing the dual threat of aging and diabetes, and wearable activity trackers could promote elderly diabetic patients' physical activity levels and help them to manage blood glucose control. Therefore, examining the influencing factors of elderly patients'…
Tracking progress towards universal health coverage for essential health services in China, 2008–2018
INTRODUCTION: We comprehensively evaluate whether the Chinese Government's goal of ensuring Universal Health Coverage for essential health services has been achieved. METHODS: We used data from the 2008, 2013 and 2018 National Health Services Survey to report on the coverage of a range of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) indicator 3.8.1. We created per capita household income deciles for urban and rural samples separately. We report time trend…
The Associations Between Parental Burnout and Mental Health Symptoms Among Chinese Parents With Young Children During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused numerous unexpected changes for families and societies, which have likely contributed to higher amounts of stress for most parents. This study aimed to examine the relationship between burnout and mental health among parents during the COVID-19. Pandemic exposure and household factors (e.g., family structure, family function) were examined as moderators. An online cross-sectional survey …
Spatial effects of air pollution on the economic burden of disease
The different contributions and synergy among the factors constitute the complex mechanism of factors and catastrophic health expenditure. Moreover, during this process, air pollution aggravates the contribution of health service factors toward ICHE. In addition, the leading factors of ICHE are different among regions. At the end, this paper also puts forward some policy suggestions from the perspective of health and environment crisis in the pos…
Can case-based payment contain healthcare costs? - A curious case from China
Integrating the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior With the Stages of Change to Predict Exercise Among Chinese People With Type 2 Diabetes
Background: There have been very limited prospective studies examining social-cognitive models within stages of behavior change in the exercise domain. Purpose: We examined the utility of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), incorporating self-identity and descriptive norm constructs, to predict exercise behavior across the stages of change, in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Data were obtained from a longitudinal study. Multi-group s…
Factors affecting health care users’ first contact with primary health care facilities in north eastern China, 2008–2018
BACKGROUND: China set out the vision to establishing a hierarchical medical system, with primary health care (PHC) facilities serving health care users' first contact. Common ailments were listed, supported by a series of auxiliary policy measures. We aim to assess whether these policies were effective to prompt users' preference to PHCs within these contexts. METHODS: Using data from three waves of National Health Service Survey, we examined tre…
Physician ranking optimization based on patients' browse behaviors and resource capacities
Purpose Digital healthcare has become one of the most important Internet applications in the recent years, and digital platforms have been acting as interfaces between the patients and physicians. Although these technologies enhance patient convenience, they create new challenges in platform management. For instance, on physician rating websites, information overload negatively influences patients' decision-making in relation to selecting a physi…

Equity in Essential Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health Interventions in Northeastern China, 2008 to 2018
Objectives We aim to analyse equity in maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) interventions in Jilin, a north-eastern province of China, 2008 to 2018. Study design Cross-sectional study Methods We used provincially representative survey data in 2008, 2013 and 2018. We included 18 essential MNCH interventions, analysed equity and calculated the composite coverage score. We used logistic and multiple linear regressions to adjust sampling cluster…
Coping with Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic might lead to more mental health problems. However, few studies have examined sleep problems, depression, and posttraumatic symptoms among the general adult population during the COVID-19 outbreak, and little is known about coping behaviors.

Extending access to essential services against constraints
China's 60 year experience in establishing a de-professionalized, community-based, health service delivery model that is economically feasible, institutionally and culturally appropriate mechanism can be useful to other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) seeking to extend essential services. Lessons can be drawn from both reform content and from its implementation pathway, identifying the political, institutional and contextual factors shap…
