Abstract:
The former Ministry of Health launched a project regarding National Demonstration Areas for Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) in 2010. This study combined quantitative and qualitative methods, using epidemiological, anthropological and sociological methods to carry out process assessment, effectiveness and case study to evaluate the outcomes of the Demonstration Areas in China. A government leading body, under multi-sectoral cooperation pattern set for prevention and control of NCDs in the Demonstration Areas, was established. All the health related indicators of the residents from the NCDs appeared better than the national average level, showing the fact that the first phase goal on the establishment of Demonstration Areas was materialized. Papers that included in this issue "Evaluation on China National Demonstration Areas for NCDs Prevention and Control" elaborated the implementation status and effectiveness of the Demonstration Areas. It was our hope to provide reference for scaling up the Demonstration Areas and dynamic management in the future.
