Disease Prevention and Control Plans: State of the Art and Future Research Guideline
Résumé
Outbreak of diseases can lead to a great number of deaths. Therefore, the establishment of an effective disease prevention and control plan, which can decrease the number of deaths, is of paramount importance. This paper critically reviews literatures focusing on disease prevention and control plans and proposes the directions for the future research. Because an effective disease prevention and control plan should be established based on the type of the disease, selected papers are first classified according to the diseases. Then, according to the characteristics of the disease, different methods are used to classify papers studying the same disease. Through the classification and analysis of the selected papers, a series of insights are derived and several future research directions are proposed.
