What to measure

This document outlines the criteria for selecting measurements and topics in epidemiology and public health. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating the burden of disease, public health criteria, and the specific subpopulations of interest. Key selection criteria are based on evidence from the ECHI list, user needs, and previous knowledge. Recommendations will involve various health monitoring programs and emphasize demographic factors, health status, and determinants. A flexible approach is proposed for identifying core and additional measurements adaptable for various health surveys.

  1. What to measure Paola Primatesta UCL, UK

  2. Tasks • Identify measurements based on epidemiological and public health criteria: • Burden of disease • Public health criteria • Subpopulations of interest

  3. Topics’ selection criteria • Criteria of selection of topics evidence-based and based on ECHI list: • Comprehensive; • Meeting user needs – important public health domains; • Being innovative as well as based on previous knowledge; • Using Health Monitoring Programme and Public Health Programme results.

  4. Criteria for recommendations • Recommendations based on: • ECHI list; • Other Projects of the Public Health Programme ; • EHRM; • WHO STEPS.

  5. Key areas • Demographic and socioeconomic factors • Health status/disease • Health determinants/health related behaviours • Health interventions/health systems

  6. Measurement selection criteria • Guiding criteria to select and prioritise HES component: • Inclusion in previous national HESs; • Availability of international standard; • Clear interpretation of the results; Practicality/easy to administer; • Ethical acceptability; • Acceptability to the respondent; • Cost.

  7. Criteria for inclusion

  8. Approach • Identify ‘core’ measurements and additional measurements • Support a flexible model where elements can be added as requested (modular) • Adaptable to disease-oriented (e.g. CVD) or population-oriented (e.g. elderly) HES. • Final product flexible enough for its constituent elements to be adaptable to different HESs.

  9. ‘Core’ measurements

  10. Additional measurements
