Abstract:

Objective: To develop a practical evaluation indicator system for “Zero Tuberculosis Community” in Zhejiang Province, which could provide a scientific basis for the standardized construction of “Zero Tuberculosis Community” throughout the province and to optimize tuberculosis prevention and control strategies. Methods: First, a set of indicator pool was constructed through the literature review. Second, two rounds of correspondence were conducted by jointly applying the Delphi method and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Finally, the indicator system was determined based on expert ratings and opinions, and the indicator weights were calculated. Results: A total of 26 experts were invited. The indicator system includes 3 first-level indicators, 13 secondary indicators, and 50 tertiary indicators. The experts had a relatively high level of enthusiasm, authority and coordination. The first-level indicators, in descending order of indicator weight, were implementation actions (0.412), construction effectiveness (0.324), and organizational support (0.264). Conclusion: The indicator system constructed in this study has a certain degree of scientificity and reliability, which can provide a reference for a comprehensive and objective evaluation of the effectiveness of the construction of “Zero Tuberculosis Community”.
