ABSTRACT

To better practice the Deepening Standardization Reform Plan,announced by the State Council,to promote the leadership of standard in healthy development of preventive medicine and public health,the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association (CPMA) established the Standardization Committee of Chinese Preventive Medicine Association (SC-CPMA).The SC-CPMA was responsible for the work of standardization developments of CPMA,including review of project's qualification and proposal,pre-qualification and qualification review of standard,publicity and training of standard,evaluation of standard implementation,review of standard,and public response monitoring of the standard.At December 13,2018,CPMA published two group standards,the Technical specification of data processing for large population-based cohort study (T/CPMA 001-2018) and Technical specification of data security for large population-based cohort study (T/CPMA 002-2018).This was the first time that a group standard was published by CPMA and produced for large cohort study's establishment and research.These two standards were the milestones for public health areas and the academic achievement of team,leading by Dr.Li Liming,after decade of research and practice.The two standards were developed based on the China Kadoorie Biobank Study and aimed to formulate professional standards and standardized operation procedures that met the nationals conditions,with strong operability and generality of population cohort establishments.The group standards were also aimed to guide the establishments for other population-based cohort studies to maximum support the decision making and practice for disease control and prevention.The increasing disease burden of non-communicable disease (NCD) became severe public health problem and the etiology for NCD is complex.Large cohort studies,which became more popular recently,played an important role in observation and explanation of NCD etiology and risk factors.Under the current situation with growing number of large cohort studies,it is necessary to have a standard,which could be shared and used to guide other professional as critical scientific protocols.CPMA was committed to promoting the development of group standards in the field of public health,and supporting the implementation of the Healthy China Strategy.
