Abstract:
Emergent infectious diseases represent a real threat to global health, but their harmful effects can be reduced by implementing appropriate response policies. According to the panel data of 10 provinces in Northern China from 2009 to 2018, the disease prevention and control policy jointly implemented in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in 2013 was regarded as a 'quasi-natural experiment'. However, this policy has not yet been sufficiently evaluated. In this paper, we used the difference-in-difference method to quantitatively evaluate the net effects of applying the joint prevention and control policy against regional key notifiable infectious diseases. The results revealed that the joint disease prevention and control policy had a significant limiting effect and a time lag on the incidence rate of key infectious diseases. In conclusion, this policy is beneficial to the effective prevention and control of infectious diseases, which provides supporting evidence to interpret and improve the joint disease prevention and control mechanisms.
