Developing a Tool to Assess Implementation of Evidence-Based Chronic Disease Prevention in Public Health Settings Across Four Countries

Development of the 26-question survey included, a narrative literature review of extant measures in evidence-based chronic disease prevention (EBCDP); qualitative interviews with 50 chronic disease prevention practitioners in Australia, Brazil, China, and the United States; review by an expert panel of researchers in EBCDP; and test-retest reliability assessment. A convenience sample of practitioners working in chronic disease prevention in each country completed the survey twice (N=165). Overall, this tool produced good to moderately reliable responses. Generally, reliability of responses was higher among practitioners from Australia and the United States than China and Brazil.

本26题调查问卷的开发流程涵盖以下环节：对循证慢性病预防（Evidence-Based Chronic Disease Prevention, EBCDP）领域现有测评工具的叙述性文献综述；对澳大利亚、巴西、中国及美国的50名慢性病预防从业者开展的质性访谈；由循证慢性病预防领域研究者组成的专家小组进行的评审；以及重测信度评估。本研究采用便利抽样法，招募各国内从事慢性病预防工作的从业者完成两次该问卷调研，最终有效样本量为165份（N=165）。整体而言，该工具可生成良好至中等程度可靠的应答结果。总体来看，来自澳大利亚与美国的从业者所提供的应答信度高于中国及巴西的从业者。
