Echinococcosis has been identified as a serious challenge to public health on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau region in China nowadays. This project will help to improve knowledge, attitude and behavior related to echinococcosis and compliance with local rules needed for managing their dogs and sheep, finally, reduce the incidence of echinococcosis among Tibetan herdsmen on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region in China.

We develop the faith-based and cultured-tailed health education program for echinococcosis prevention refer to the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program and the Medical Research Council’ s five　stage model. Tibetan Buddhist monasteries (TBMs) were recruited in 10 townships of 4 TBM, by the local community health service centers.

In phase I, the Leader’ s Manual would be developed that incorporated the problem　solving, goal-setting and self-monitoring of behavior as well as changes in echinococcosis-related knowledge and attitude. In phase II, and a total of 40 leader in 20 Tibetan Buddhist monasteries (TBMs) with two leaders in one TBM, of intervention group would be trained for six lessons within one week. All leaders are religious workers in the TBM. In phases III, these two leaders of one TBM would implement 6 lessons of 1 lesson per month for about 20 Tibet herders based on the Leader’ s Manual. In phase IV, we evaluated the feasibility for others to use our active implementation model.

●Addressing industry influence in medical education: a brief international overview

Surveys of medical students in a range of countries have shown that interactions with industry are common, especially during clinical training. Students also tend to be less critical of drug promotion if they have studied in environments with more permissive policies concerning industry interactions, and there is some research evidence of a negative effect on prescribing quality post-graduation.

National medical student associations have had a leading role in initiatives to address conflicts of interest in medical education, and to press for curriculum change to better prepare students for the ethical choices they will face concerning interactions with industry.

This presentation describes the research to date on medical faculties’ conflict of interest policies, and the important shifts in policy that have occurred as a result of student advocacy.

●Status of COI studies in China and its management

In the development process of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs), Conflict of Interest（COI） is a series of economic, personal, or professional interests that may affect the objectivity or fairness of expert decision-making, and it is also one of the important factors that affect the reliability of the guidelines. The study shows that there are associations between guidelines or the members of working groups in many fields with pharmaceutical enterprises, but most guidelines do not disclose these associations fully and transparently.

In 2016, China had relevant literature on the statement and management of domestic guidelines on COI. However, through the assessment of China’s guidelines from 2019 to 2021, we found that the reporting quality on COI of Chinese guidelines still needs improvement. Therefore, in 2022, we updated and published the Guiding principles for the development/ revision of clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines in China, with which we sorted out China’s measures to deal with COI in the guidelines and proposed a detailed description and assumption on this topic.
