Abstract
Public health is an action taken by society to protect and promote people’s health. Public health practice requires not only the participation of preventive medicine, but the joint participation of multiple disciplines other than medicine. Any public health practice requires design, measurement and evaluation (DME). This process must incorporate multidisciplinary principles and methods. At the same time, in order to facilitate comparison and application, the entire DME process needs to be standardized (Standardization), generally referred to as DMES (design, measurement, evaluation and standardization in public health, DMES). This article summarizes and rethinks the needs, concepts, research fields and content framework of DMES in the field of public health, which will provide references for the working ideas and methods of public health practices.
