Quantitative Evaluation and Empirical Research on China’s Adolescent Physical Health Policies Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China
The physical health of adolescents is an important cornerstone for building a healthy China and a strong sports nation. Using the PMC index model to quantitatively evaluate adolescent physical health policies, providing certain suggestions and references for the formulation and implementation of related policies. Selecting 12 sample policies since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China as research objects, a PMC index model for adolescent physical health was constructed based on policy texts, which includes 9 primary variables and 36 secondary variables. Research has found that: (1) There are certain differences in policy scores in different periods, but the overall development trend is good; (2) The quality and status of adolescent physical health policies are gradually improving; (3) The content and structure of policy texts are gradually becoming more comprehensive, and the policy targets are becoming more diverse; (4) Policy formulation focuses on exploring diverse development paths and highquality development; (5) The policy text is relatively reasonable, but there is also some room for improvement. Meanwhile, using the PMC index model for quantification, it was found that: (1) Out of the 12 selected policies, 7 were rated as excellent and 5 were rated as good; (2) Among the 12 selected policies, the four primary variables of policy timeliness, policy nature, policy target, and policy evaluation have low ratings. Based on this, suggestions are proposed: (1) Promote the combination of diverse goals and stage goals; (2) Enhance the completeness of policy content; (3) Enriching the target audience of policies; (4) Establish a dynamic system for policy evaluation.
