ABSTRACT
Public health interventions refer to a series of organized and specific measures implemented in specific situations to achieve goals related to improving health, preventing and controlling diseases, and more. As research on intervention measures has deepened, the classification of public health interventions has gradually developed, clarifying the nature, categories and intervention targets of these measures. This typological study can help standardize the concepts of public health interventions, develop, select, and evaluate the effectiveness of intervention measures, and improve the effectiveness of public health actions. This paper reviews the main international classification models of intervention measures, analyzes and summarizes five classification methods of public health interventions, namely, based on goals, nature, objects, hierarchies, and modes of action, and introduces relevant cases. The paper proposes that China should conduct further in-depth and systematic research on public health interventions, develop evidence-based intervention measures and practices, promote the effective transformation of intervention measures and results, and facilitate the development of public health.

Early nutritional status, lifestyle and life experiences are critical to the health and development of one’s whole life. Previous studies on the effect of earthquake, flood, ice storm and hurricane, famine on population health were reviewed and sorted out from a perspective of life cycle. It turned out that catastrophic events exposure during the fetus period could have some adverse effects on the growth and development of fetuses, newborns and children, and also on mental health during the life cycle from newborns to adults. Based on the research results at home and abroad, future research on the long-term impacts of early-life adverse events on mental health could be further explored from such aspects as expanding research objects, improving research methods, and extending research content.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the relationship between socio-economic status and utilization of rehabilitation services for adults with different disabilities. Methods:Adults with single disability were selected from the Second China National Sample Survey on Disability. Their education level and per capita household income were used as socio-economic index, controlled with sex, age group, residence, disabled level and marriage. Results:The prevalence of rehabilitation service utilization was 2.98% to 15.97%, and it was more in urban people than in rural ones. Education level trended to be a positive factor to utilization of rehabilitation service, but different with the types of disabilities. Per capita household income was mixed for the utilization of rehabilitation service, which was positive for some disabilities, negative for some ones, and no significant for others. Conclusion:The utilization of rehabilitation services needs to improve for adults with disabilities. Policies can be made targeting to the people with different disabilities.
