[Implementation analysis of public functions of centers of disease prevention and control of China].

Objective: To evaluate the implementation of public function and items of the centers of disease prevention and control(CDC).

Methods: 161 centers of disease prevention and control have been investigated by two-stage stratified sampling. The implementation analysis of public function and items of CDC is measured by multiplying average operational proportion and average operational degree.

Results: 1. For investigated centers, the average rate of function implementation is 42.9% ,with 56.0% at provincial level and 43.7% at city level, 41.3% for the county level; while 49.3% in east areas, 45.4% in middle areas and 35.3% in west areas. 2. Among all 7 functional items, the implemented rate of disease prevention and control is 54.3%, 65.8% for emergency treatment, 35.0% for epidemic situation report and information management of health relative factors, 31.3% for inspection and control of health risk factors, 39.1% for the laboratory examination and evaluation, 36.4% for health education and health promotion, and 56.7% for technological guidance and application study.

Conclusion: The implemented degree of public function of CDC was generally lower, varied with regions and levels. Among 7 public functional items, the emergency treatment function had the highest implementation, with the lowest for the inspection and control of health relative factors.
