dc.description.abstract | To explore the feasibility of using a simple multi-criteria decision analysis method with policy makers/ key stakeholders to prioritize cardiovascular disease (CVD) policies in four Mediterranean countries: Palestine, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey. Methods A simple multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method was piloted. A mixed methods study was used to identify a preliminary list of policy options in each country. These policies were rated by different policymakers/ stakeholders against pre-identified criteria to generate a priority score for each policy and then rank the policies. Results Twenty-five different policies were rated in the four countries to create a country-specific list of CVD prevention and control policies. The response rate was 100 % in each country. The top policies were mostly population level interventions and health systems’ level policies. Conclusions Successful collaboration between policy makers/stakeholders and researchers was established in this small pilot study. MCDA appeared to be feasible and effective. Future applications should aim to engage a larger, representative sample of policy makers, especially from outside the health sector. Weighting the selected criteria might also be assessed. | en_US |
