YAN Jingjing (first author) and ZHAO Dahai (corresponding author) published a research paper on Risk Management and Healthcare Policy (SSCI cited by JCR in 2019) based on the administrative mechanism of joint participation and cooperation for COVID-19 in the early stage of the epidemic (December 2019 to January 2020) among health practitioners and administrative departments across the country.
This study demonstrated the theoretical logic of the joint prevention and control mechanism. An analytical framework based on the theory of policy participation that included stimulus, setting, and position of policy participation was constructed. Qualitative data of policy participation by health practitioners and administrative authorities consisted of publicly available data.
This study found that the administrative mechanism of joint participation and cooperation was instrumental in avoiding a substantial increase in both cases and fatalities in the initial stage of the outbreak. This joint participation provides valuable experience and initiatives for major public health emergency preparedness, and the new empirical evidence further highlights the importance of policy participation theory in epidemic prevention in other countries.
