Description
Summary:Many countries around the world highlight the health in all policies (HiAP). However, most of the related research focused on the influential factors and implementation strategies, with less concern on the evaluation of HiAP. In response to HiAP's call, the Chinese government has proposed health promotion policies (HPPs) in counties or districts, the evaluation of HPPs in sample counties or districts of Sichuan province in China is an essential basis for optimizing policy content, improving policy implementation, and ensuring health promotion's continuous and efficient operation. This paper established an evaluation system for HPPs based on the PMC-Index model and then quantitatively analyzed 37 representative HPPs from the pilot areas in Sichuan province. In addition, a team of experts conducted a field assessment. The results showed that the average PMC index of 37 HPPs was 7.091, and correlation analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between the PMC index and expert score. This study indicates that the overall consistency of HPPs was good and proves a connection between the formulation and implementation of HPPs.
