Abstract

|
|
Objective: The purpose of the study was to develop a comprehensive set of Healthy City indicators to be used to develop a Healthy City index and to examine their validity and data availability.
Methods: Previous domestic and international Healthy City indicators were collected from literature review. Seventy two indicators categorized in 11 domains were finally selected. A self-administered survey was conducted between September, 19 and October 7 in 2016 via e-mail among 16 experts or practitioners in Healthy City. They rated policy relevance, face validity, content validity, and data availability of each indicator based on its pre-described definition on the 5 Likert scale.
Results: The average scores for policy relevance, face validity, content validity, and data availability across 72 indicators were 3.96, 3.87, 3.84, 3.88, respectively. All the indicators were rated over 3 on average except a few indicators. In all the four evaluation criteria, structure and process indicators as well as the indicators for health behavior and health outcome were rated higher than those indicators for physical, social, and economic environments and healthcare resources and services.
Conclusion: The Healthy City indicators developed for a Healthy City index were found to be valid and their data availability were satisfactory.
