- Abstract: Disease control priority(DCP)is an important public health intervention strategy.Diseases that should be prioritized for prevention and control are first screened with a series of criteria,including the severity of the disease burden,the effectiveness of disease control technologies,the prevention and control capacity of the existing health system,etc.Then,the prevention and control technologies for these diseases undergo qualitative evaluation(eg,face-to-face interviews,expert consultation,workshops,etc)and quantitative evaluation(eg,cost-benefit analysis,multi-criteria decision analysis,etc).Finally,the public health initiatives that should be prioritized are identified.From the conception of the idea,to the formal proposition of the concept,to guidance for practice,DCP has gone through more than 70 years of development.Through DCP,significant contributions has been made to improving the efficiency of health care service systems and promoting the health of populations in developing countries.Herein,we systematically reviewed the background,development history,realization method,and practical applications of DCP,focusing on exploring the application potential of DCP in health governance and providing technical support and decision-making reference for the comprehensive promotion of the Healthy China Initiative.
