Empirical Evaluation of Indicators for Public Health System Development in Primary and Secondary Schools — Beijing, China, 2025

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: What is already known about this topic?: Localized tools for evaluating school public health systems in China remain limited. What is added by this report?: This study converted a previously developed indicator system into a quantitative assessment tool. K-means cluster analysis identified three school types and demonstrated the system's discriminant validity, providing empirical support for classifying school public health systems. What are the implications for public health practice?: Improving school public health systems requires coordinated action in governance, resources, and disease prevention and control. Tailored, dynamic assessment should replace uniform approaches, and routine monitoring should be integrated into daily management to support continuous improvement.
