Objective To explore the focuses and potential issues of the current childrenJ s health policy system for informing policy decision 一 making. Methods This study constructed a two 一 dimensional analysis framework of policy tools 一 stakeholders, and the content analysis method was used to quantitatively analyze 36 children s health policies in China. Results The study coded a total of 542 nodes for policy tools. The environment - based policy tools, supply - based policy tools, and demand 一 based policy tools accounted for 43. 7%, 36. 5%, and 19. 7%, respectively. There were 464 nodes of stakeholders, and administrative agencies, hospitals, primary health care facilities, children and families, health care workers, and other agencies accounted for 61, 4%, 13. 6%, 3. 7%, 8.0%, 3. 2% and 10. 1%, respectively. Two 一 dimensional analysis revealed that children and families focused on demand 一 based policy tools (16 out of 34 nodes), primary healthcare/hospitals/health care providers focused on supply - based policy tools (20 out of 26, 41 out of 85, and 10 out of 15 nodes), and administrative agencies focused on environmental policy tools (170 out of 351 nodes). Conclusion The continuous launch of childrenJ s health policies indicates that the government ensures the principle of Children First. However, the current policies on the supply of children, s health services, the training of pediatric personnel, and PHC are inadequate. The government should focus on improving the supply of children, s healthcare services, expanding the pediatric workforce, and constructing an integrated service system for children.

Objective To summarize the key elements and shortcomings of relevant policies in the field of mental health in China, so as to provide reference for the formulation and improvement of follow-up policies in the field of mental health in China. Methods Using NVivollPlus software and content analysis method, a two-dimensional analysis framework of "policy tool-policy object" was constructed to quantitatively analyze 141 relevant policy texts in the field of mental health at the national level from 1999 to 2023 in China. Results China has paid growing attention to mental health, and the National Health Commission, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs were the core departments of policy formulation. The internal structure of supply-oriented policy tools was out of balance, and the application of environmental policy tools was insufficient. Demand-based policy tools were the least used, accounting for 49.96%, 28.36%, and 21.68%, respectively. The policy object was concentrated in the whole system, health system, and education system, accounting for 32.81%, 24.59%, and 21.94%, respectively. Conclusion It is suggested that the policy design balance the structure of policy tools, increase the supply of resources, apply strategies and measures, strengthen mental health education and promotion, strengthen community grass-roots mental health services, and standardize the development of social mental health service institutions so as to improve mental health and mental hygiene policy system.
