Evidence-based decision-making support for determining the risk of schistosomiasis infection during large events in China: Application of risk assessment
The risk assessment system was successfully applied to three large-scale events in Wuhan, effectively supporting evidence-based decision-making support and preventing schistosomiasis transmission. Post-event surveillance and reassessment of indicators verified the sustained effectiveness of the interventions. This closed-loop approach demonstrates that risk assessment is a vital tool for public health decision-making during large events in endemic areas.
