ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the current overall status of implementation on the National Demonstration Areas of Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases.Methods According to the scheme design of the questionnaires,all the National Demonstration Areas were involved in this study.For each National Demonstration Areas,eight departments were selected to complete a total of 12 questionnaires.Results Scores related to the implementation of the National Demonstration Areas accounted for 71.8％ of the total 170 points.Based on the scores gathered from this study,the 23-items-index-system that represented the status of project implementation was classified into seven categories.Categories with higher percentile scores would include:monitoring (88.0％),safeguard measures (75.0％),health education and health promotion (75.0％).Categories with lower percentile scores would include:the national health lifestyle actions (67.7％),community diagnosis (66.7％),discovery and intervention of high-risk groups (64.7％),and patient management (60.9％).There were significant differences noticed among the eastern,central and western areas on items as safeguard measures,health education/promotion,discovery and intervention of high-risk groups.In all,the implementation programs in the eastern Demonstration Areas seemed better than in the central or western regions.As for the 23 items,five of the highest scores appeared on policy support,mortality surveillance,tumor registration,reporting system on cardiovascular/cerebrovascular events,and on tobacco control,respectively.However,the lowest five scores fell on healthy diet,patient self-management program,oral hygiene,setting up the demonstration units and promotion on basic public health services,respectively.The overall scores in the eastern region was higher than that in the central or the western regions.The scores in the central and western regions showed basically the same.Conclusions The overall status of implementation on the National Demonstration Areas was satisfactory.Future attention should be focusing on patient management as well as discovery and intervention of high-risk groups,which also presented the lowest scores,in this survey.

ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the'backward'provinces and the relatively poor work among the construction of National Demonstration Area,so as to promote communication and future visions among different regions.Methods Methods on Cluster analysis were used to compare the development of National Demonstration Area in different provinces,including the coverage of National Demonstration Area and the scores of non-communicable disease (NCDs) prevention and control work based on a standardized indicating system.Results According to the results from the construction of National Demonstration Area,all the 29 provinces and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (except Tibet and Qinghai) were classified into 6 categories:Shanghai;Beijing,Zhejiang,Chongqing;Tianjin,Shandong,Guangdong and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps;Hebei,Fujian,Hubei,Jiangsu,Liaoning,Xinjiang,Hunan and Guangxi;Shanxi,Jilin,Henan,Hainan,Sichuan,Anhui and Jiangxi;Inner Mongolia,Shaanxi,Ningxia,Guizhou,Yunnan,Gansu and Heilongjiang.Based on the scores gathered from this study,24 items that representing the achievements from the NCDs prevention and control endeavor were classified into 4 categories:Manpower,special day on NCD,information materials development,policy/strategy support,financial support,mass media,enabled environment,community fitness campaign,health promotion for children and teenage,institutional structure and patient self-management;healthy diet,risk factors on NCDs surveillance,tobacco control and community diagnosis;intervention of high-risk groups,identification of high-risk groups,reporting system on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events,popularization of basic public health service,workplace intervention programs,construction of demonstration units and mortality surveillance;oral hygiene and tumor registration.Contents including oral hygiene,tumor registration,intervention on high-risk groups,identification of high-risk population,reporting system on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events,popularization of basic public health service,workplace intervention programs,construction of demonstration units and mortality surveillance were discerned as the relatively weak areas in the construction programs of National Demonstration Area.Conclusions Western regions,especially in some remote provinces had the poorest performance during the construction of National Demonstration Area.Programs regarding chronic disease surveillance,identification and intervention on high-risk groups showed the lowest scores and these outcome-oriented tasks should be further focused on,during the next term of review,in these areas.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of the Oxford Health Alliance-Community Interventions for Health on chronic diseases prevention and control capacity in community medical staff in Hangzhou.Methods A two year comprehensive intervention on chronic disease prevention and control capacity was conducted in the medical staff in Xiacheng district and Gongshu district,Xihu district was used as control according to the study design principal of parallel comparison and non-random grouping.The intervention effect was evaluated with Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test.A total of 985 questionnaires were completed in the baseline survey and 870 questionnaires were completed in the follow-up survey.Results After 2 year intervention, the detection rates of blood cholesterol, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose by community medical staff significantly increased compared with the rates before the intervention (x2 =7.97, P =0.05;x2 =27.21, P =0.00;x2=21.32, P=0.00).While, in the control district, the fasting blood glucose detection rate increased from 25.37％ to 31.19％, the differences showed statistical significance (x2=15.29, P=0.00).The communication between community medical staff and patients about healthy diet pattern was improved after the intervention, the difference was statistical significant (x2=8.64, P=0.03).However, no significant differences in communication about increasing physical activity and smoking cessation between community medical staff and patients was found before and after intervention both in intervention districts and in control district.Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the interventions on screening of common chronic diseases and management of chronic diseases patients were related with the detections of blood cholesterol, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose.Moreover, the intervention on counsel and suggestion for chronic disease prevention and control had some influence on the communication about chronic disease risk factors between community medical staff and patients.Conclusion The intervention on chronic disease prevention and control capacity in community medical staff was effective to improve the detection of chronic diseases in community and the communication between the medical staff and patients.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Having usual source of care has been associated with improved receipt of preventive services and control of chronic diseases (such as hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia). The objective of this study was to examine whether having usual source of care is associated with improved receipt of preventive services and control of chronic diseases. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, CINAHL, KMbase, KoreaMed, RiSS4U, National Assembly Library, and KISS for studies released through May 31st 2011. Two authors independently extracted the data. We manually searched the references and twenty recent related articles on PubMed. To assess the risk of bias RoBANS tool was used. RESULTS: We identified 10 studies. Most having usual source of care were associated with improved receipt of preventive services (cervical cancer screening, clinical breast exam, mammogram, prostate cancer screening, and flu shot) compared with no usual source of care. However, gastric cancer and colon cancer screening were difficult to conclude and blood pressure checkup showed mixed results. Overall there was no association between having usual source of care and smoking behaviors and the effect on chronic disease control was difficult to conclude. CONCLUSION: Having usual source of care was associated with improved receipt of preventive services and overall the results were consistent. So, the results suggested that having usual source of care may help to receive preventive services. Hereafter, cohort studies are needed to evaluate casual relationships and more studies are needed in various countries and systems.
