Implementing the global monitoring framework at country level

Implementing the global monitoring framework at country level Leanne Riley Team Leader Surveillance and Population-based Prevention Department for the Prevention of NCDs

In selecting indicators and targets, the following criteria were considered: § High epidemiological and public health relevance § Coherence with major strategies – Priorities of the Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of NCDs and its Action Plan, as well the Political Declaration. – WHO framework for health systems priorities to monitor exposures, outcomes, and health systems response § Evidence driven targets and indicators – Availability of evidence-based effective and feasible public health interventions § Evidence of achievability at the country level § Existence of unambiguous data collection instruments and potential to set a baseline and monitor changes over time.

Mortality & Morbidity Comprehensive Global Monitoring Framework Unconditional probability of dying between ages 30 and 70 years from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory diseases. Cancer incidence, by type of cancer per 100 000 population

Risk Factors Comprehensive Global Monitoring Framework

Comprehensive Global Monitoring Framework Risk Factors Prevalence of insufficiently physically active adolescents defined as less than 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity activity daily. Age-standardized prevalence of insufficiently physically active persons aged 18+ years defined as less than 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week, or equivalent Age –standardized mean proportion of total energy intake from saturated fatty acids in person aged 18+ years

Risk Factors Comprehensive Global Monitoring Framework Prevalence of current tobacco use among adolescents Age-standardized prevalence of current tobacco use among persons aged 18+ years

Risk Factors Comprehensive Global Monitoring Framework Age-standardized prevalence of raised blood pressure among persons aged 18+ years and mean systolic blood pressure. Age-standardized prevalence of overweight and obesity in persons aged 18+ years

National Systems response Comprehensive Global Monitoring Framework Vaccination coverage against hepatitis B virus monitored by number of third doses of Hep-B vaccine (Hep. B 3) administered to infants

Comprehensive Global Monitoring Framework National Systems response Availability, as appropriate, if cost-effective and affordable, of HPV vaccines, according to national programmes and policies Policies to reduce the impact on children of marketing of foods and nonalcoholic beverages high in saturated fats, trans-fatty acids, free sugars, or salt. Access to palliative care assessed by morphine-equivalent consumption of strong opioid analgesics (excluding methadone) per death from cancer Adoption of national policies that limit saturated fatty acids and virtually eliminate partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVO) in the food supply, as appropriate within the national context and national programmes

Relationship between global and national targets § National targets should be consistent with the global targets § Targets may be adapted nationally, based on the country's situation § Adaptations would reflect what might be achievable in a specific country based on their performance, current exposure and what actions can be achieved § National adapted targets may be more or less ambitious than the global target

Issues to consider l Are the targets and indicators in the GMF all suitable in your country? l Are there additional targets and indicators needed for your country? l Does your country have the systems in place to track these global indicators and report on global targets? And systems which track any new proposed ones? l What is the current level of exposure/mortality/service provision in your country? l Are the reductions or coverage proposed for global targets appropriate for your country or should they be more or less?

Surveillance of NCDs: Instruments and Data Sources Leanne Riley Team Leader Surveillance and Population-based Prevention of NCDs Department

Surveillance definition On-going, systematic collection, analysis, interpretation and dissemination of data essential for health promotion and disease prevention (CDC MMWR 2004)

Why is surveillance important? l Sizes the problem l Informs interventions l Content of advocacy information l Basis for evaluating impact of policy/practice l Helps prioritise resources allocation l Stimulates research

NCD Surveillance tools at WHO l NCD global monitoring framework, indicators and targets l NCD Country Capacity Survey (CCS) l STEPS (adults) l GSHS (adolescents) l Service availability and readiness assessment (SARA) l Comparable estimates for key risk factors l Compiling and storing NCD data

Monitoring Framework for NCD surveillance l Exposures – Behavioural risk factors: tobacco use, physical inactivity, harmful use of alcohol and unhealthy diet – Metabolic risk factors: raised blood pressure, overweight/obesity, raised blood glucose, and raised cholesterol. – Social determinants: education, material well being, access to health care l Outcomes – Mortality: NCD specific mortality – Morbidity: cancer incidence and type l Health System Response – Interventions and health system capacity: infrastructure, policies and plans, access to key health care interventions and treatments, partnerships.

NCD Country Capacity Survey l To gather information about individual country capacity to respond to NCD prevention and control. l Assessment focused on current strengths and weaknesses related to: NCD infrastructure, policy response, surveillance and health systems response and partnerships and health promotion. l 4 th wave of surveillance currently underway in 2013 – previous surveys in 2000, 2005, and 2010. l Generally a high response rate from Member States. l Periodic monitoring of national progress would assist countries in identifying gaps in prevention and control efforts and assist with future planning.

STEPS- adult risk factor surveillance Objectives l Empower Member States to gather information on chronic disease risk factors for use in planning health programmes and interventions. l Provide standardized questionnaire that allows for comparisons, but is flexible to meet Member States' needs. l Build capacity in Member States in all aspects of national survey implementation; in particular, develop skills in sample design, data collection and data analysis.

Questionnaire Overview Different levels of risk factor assessment: l STEP 1 – questionnaire l STEP 2 – physical measurements l STEP 3 – blood samples Three modules per Step: l Core l Expanded l Optional

Questionnaire Overview, cont. l Behavioural Risk Factors – – Tobacco use Harmful alcohol consumption Unhealthy diet (low fruit and vegetable consumption) Physical inactivity l Biological Risk Factors – – Overweight and obesity Raised blood pressure Raised blood glucose Abnormal blood lipids l Optional Modules on Health Care, Injury and Violence, Mental Health (suicide) Oral Health, Salt intake, Sexual Health, and Tobacco policy

STEPS Methodology l Targets a nationally representative sample of adults aged 18 – 69. l STEP 1 (questionnaire) and STEP 2 (physical measures) are conducted in the household by trained interviewers. l STEP 3 (biochemical measures) is typically clinic or health centre-based. l Pocket PCs (PDAs*) are used for data collection: "e. STEPS" l Repeat survey should be done every 3 - 5 years. *(Personal Digital Assistant)
