Improving Data Surveillance Resilience Beyond Covid-19
We analyzed COVID-19 influences on the design, implementation, and validity of assessing the quality of primary health care using unannounced standardized patients (USPs) in China. Because of the pandemic, we crowdsourced our funding, removed tuberculosis from the USP case roster, adjusted common cold and asthma cases, used hybrid online–offline training for USPs, shared USPs across provinces, and strengthened ethical considerations. With those c…
Curse or Blessing? Obesity and Income-Related Inequality in the Chinese Labor Force
China owns a huge labor force of around half billion workers in 2018. However, little is known about the prevalence of obesity and the association between obesity and economic status in this special population. By employing the concentration index (CI) and decomposition analysis, this paper addresses this knowledge gap by using the most recent nationally representative dataset. In specific, this study examines the prevalence of obesity and the so…
The Impacts of Flattening Fiscal Reform on Health Expenditure in China

Will high-speed railway influence the healthcare seeking behaviour of patients? Quasi-experimental evidence from China
This study examines the impacts of high-speed railway (HSR) transportation on the healthcare-seeking behaviour of patients along newly integrated areas of Sichuan province, China. The opening of the Cheng–Mian–Le intercity HSR is considered as quasi-experimental evidence from China, and we make a propensity score matching the difference in differences research design, using data from the monthly report database of the Sichuan Province health stat…
What Are the Important Factors Influencing the Recruitment and Retention of Doctoral Students in a Public Health Setting? A Discrete Choice Experiment Survey in China
Our study suggests that monthly income and employment location were valued most by doctoral SMHCM students when choosing a job. A more effective human resource policy intervention to attract doctoral SMHCM students to work in CDCs, especially CDCs in third-tier cities should consider both the incentives provided by the job characteristics and the background of students. Doctoral students are at the stages of career preparation, so the results of …
Investigating the association of health system characteristics and health care utilization

This study examined the association between health system characteristics and health care utilization in China and identified factors associated with accessing health care among the mid-aged and elderly. METHODS: Data were obtained from the 2015 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, and 17 370 respondents aged 45 and ab…
Effects of health insurance integration on health care utilization and its equity among the mid-aged and elderly
The findings suggest that the integration of fragmented health insurance schemes could promote access to and improve equity in health care utilization. Successful experiences of consolidating health insurance schemes in pilot provinces can provide valuable lessons for other provinces in China and other countries with similar fragmented schemes
Examining income-related inequality in health literacy and health-information seeking among urban population in China
Public interventions in China to reduce inequality in health literacy and HISBs among the urban population, coupled with easily accessible information sources on health, warrant further attention from policymakers
Job Satisfaction among Health-Care Staff in Township Health Centers in Rural China
Background : The lower job satisfaction of health-care staff will lead to more brain drain, worse work performance, and poorer health-care outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify patterns of job satisfaction among health-care staff in rural China, and to investigate the association between the latent clusters and health-care staff's personal and professional features; Methods : We selected 12 items of five-point Likert scale questions to …
The growth of private hospitals and their health workforce in China

This study aims to explore the direct consequences of these policies-the growth of private hospitals, their workforce characteristics compared with public hospitals in China and the source of their healthcare workforce. METHODS: First, we performed a segmented regression analysis of a longitudinal data series of the number of hospit…
