“…The HKSAR stated that "PPPs provide a number of alternative ways involving the private sector in delivery of public services and the health financing system by systemically analyzing the effectiveness and sustainability of seven PPP initiatives carried out in the HKSAR." [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] For instance, the implementation of the General Outpatient Clinic and Elderly Health Care Voucher programs has been recognized as a useful strategy for organizing care by public not-for-profit nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and charitable organizations, which successfully extended the private sector's complementary role in the public sector. Hemodialysis and cataract PPPs provide opportunities for forprofit corporations to build their profile for market expansion.…”

Summary Objectives The Chinese government has been increasingly engaging and interacting with the private sectors to initiate public–private partnerships (PPPs) to enhance the capacity of the health care system. Thus, the availability of private health services and copays are increasing. However, Chinese residents appear to be more accustomed to public health care because it has long been the dominant health service provider in China. Therefore, learning how the Chinese recognize PPPs, whether they would like to use private health services and how much they are willing to pay out of pocket are important for policymakers. Methods A bibliographical search was performed through PubMed in Medline, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and key government websites using a combination of keywords from seminal papers on PPPs and then sequentially added “willingness to pay (WTP), health, and private.” The papers selected were closely related to PPPs and WTP for health care in China, and then, over 100 peer‐reviewed literature, opinion, or commentary papers and postgraduate theses on the particular topics were carefully reviewed. Results Out of 139 papers closely related to WTP for private health care, 37 were extensively reviewed and substantially analyzed. The results corroborate that Chinese residents are generally willing to pay for high‐risk disease screening, improved therapies, and health insurance, although the WTP intentions and the amounts they are willing to pay are different among distinct populations for the various types of health services. The results also present conditions that the responders are not explicitly willing to pay for or are willing to pay additional fees for their health promotion. Education level, family per capita income, self‐reported health status, and dwelling districts (such as urban or rural residents) are the main factors that affect cost‐sharing intention. Conclusions PPPs are increasingly recognized as an effective means to mobilize resources in the private sector to relieve the pressure/burden placed on the public system during medical reform in China. Responders in China are generally willing to pay reasonable fees out of pocket for primary health care services or for improved therapies; however, cost‐sharing intentions are affected by multiple factors. Health‐related policymakers should learn the general health concerns/demands of the residents and their WTP status to perfect the design of PPPs for the benefit of the majority population in China.

“…Other studies have pointed to the importance of improving the use of social media platforms by IPC professionals in order to leverage the latest technologies in conveying hand hygiene messages [43,49,50]. This was further illustrated in a study conducted in China, which suggested that hand hygiene promotion strategies could be assessed using information obtained from social media, augmenting the data provided by traditional sources such as radio, print, and television [51]. According to the study performed by Pan et al [50], a hand hygiene campaign video was more effectively connected through Facebook than through a group email and hospital website in Taiwan.…”

Emojis are frequently used picture characters known as possible surrogates for non-verbal aspects of behavior. Considering the ability of emojis to enhance and facilitate communication, there has been a growing interest in studying their effects in scientific and health-related topics over the past few years. Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a field of medicine that is directly associated with specific behaviors. These include hand hygiene, which is the cornerstone of the prevention of healthcare-associated infections, and essential in stemming the spread of antimicrobial resistance. This paper aims to provide an overview of how emojis have been used in the medical and public health literature and proposes their possible use in IPC and hand hygiene to put forth a vision for the future research.

“…Conversely, a loss-framed message is persuasive in promoting mammography, chest self-examination [ 30 ], and colorectal cancer detection [ 31 ]. Given the prior research [ 15 ] and the text-based message expression of Weibo [ 32 ], we posit that the gain-framed and loss-framed effects on health-promoting message dissemination on Weibo are similar to those of print media. A Weibo message that clearly expresses positive or negative consequences was regarded as framed.…”

Background Social media is a powerful tool for the dissemination of health messages. However, few studies have focused on the factors that improve the influence of health messages on social media. Objective To explore the influence of goal-framing effects, information organizing, and the use of pictures or videos in health-promoting messages, we conducted a case study of Sina Weibo, a popular social media platform in China. Methods Literature review and expert discussion were used to determine the health themes of childhood obesity, smoking, and cancer. Web crawler technology was employed to capture data on health-promoting messages. We used the number of retweets, comments, and likes to evaluate the influence of a message. Statistical analysis was then conducted after manual coding. Specifically, binary logistic regression was used for the data analyses. Results We crawled 20,799 Sina Weibo messages and selected 389 health-promoting messages for this study. Results indicated that the use of gain-framed messages could improve the influence of messages regarding childhood obesity (P<.001), smoking (P=.03), and cancer (P<.001). Statistical expressions could improve the influence of messages about childhood obesity (P=.02), smoking (P=.002), and cancer (P<.001). However, the use of videos significantly improved the influence of health-promoting messages only for the smoking-related messages (P=.009). Conclusions The findings suggested that gain-framed messages and statistical expressions can be successful strategies to improve the influence of messages. Moreover, appropriate pictures and videos should be added as much as possible when generating health-promoting messages.
