The world has been challenged by rapidly spreading COVID-19 outbreaks for a year now. Southeast Asian countries have had different strategies to deal with the pandemic. This review aimed to elaborate on Southeast Asian countries’ strategies in managing the trade-off between economic and public health, with further consideration of how such approaches were associated with the dynamics of the number of cases and the speed of economic recovery. This review evaluated the COVID-19 mitigation efforts spanning one year in the Southeast Asian (SEA) countries listed based on the Bloomberg COVID Resilience Ranking. As of May 24, 2021, three SEA countries (Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia) were chosen from the better (27th), moderate (35th), and worst (42nd) SEA country rankings. Peer-reviewed articles were obtained from Google Scholar and PubMed databases, and news articles were retrieved from GoogleNews. The data from government websites were also included. Sources were limited to those in the English and Indonesian languages that could be accessed between January 2020 and May 2021. Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia were found to have significantly prioritized consideration of the economy in handling the pandemic. Malaysia and Thailand had more stringent policies of imposing national lockdowns, while Indonesia had a partial lockdown. It was found that a weak pandemic response may result in substantial economic loss.

Abstract Ongoing monitoring and process evaluation of public health initiatives can be challenging, particularly with complex initiatives involving multiple partners and systems and environmental change goals. Limited resources for monitoring and evaluation contribute to these challenges. Many initiatives and programs generate multiple reporting documents, however, such as planning documents, site visit or trip reports, and summative evaluation reports. Often these documents are underutilized, although they contain valuable information that can be mined. If (ideally) thoughtfully designed and then systematically reviewed using quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods (e.g. Neuendorff 2019, White and Marsh 2006), such documents can serve as valuable and cost- and time-efficient sources of data for monitoring and course correction. The presenters have experience both teaching, designing, and utilizing documents and content analysis methods for supporting effective planning, monitoring, and process evaluation. We will briefly present both quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods that can be applied both to documents tailored for such methods and pre-existing documents. The use of simpler tools for managing and analyzing data such as Excel as well as more complex computer assisted data analysis software (CAQDAS) packages will be reviewed. We will give examples utilizing experiences applying these methods to local public health department work as well as global health engagement projects. Following presentation giving an overview of content analysis methods and developing tools for applying them to documents via identified criteria, participants will be dividing into small breakout groups, and supported in brainstorming discussions about how they can use these methods with their own programs and initiatives. Following this workshop, participants should be able to: 1) discuss the differences between quantitative and qualitative approaches to content analysis of documents, for monitoring purposes; 2) understand the process of identifying criteria or categories tied to the goals and objectives of initiatives or programs, even if goals and objectives change over time, and utilizing these criteria to develop tools for systematic review and content analysis of available documents; and 3) leave with initial ideas about how to apply these tools in their own work and resources for doing so. Key messages Program or project generated documents such as plans, site visit and existing reports are underutilized for monitoring and process evaluation but can serve as valuable and accessible data sources. Systematic review including quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods can be used with project documents to support valid and rigorous data extraction for monitoring purposes.

The trend of global prevalence for hypertension has been dramatically increasing for the past two decades in Southeast Asian countries. A systematic review aiming to assess the prevalence of hypertension and its risk factors among the urban population in Southeast Asian countries was conducted. We performed database searches of PubMed and Web of Science and performed meta-analysis to determine the pooled prevalence estimate. The overall pooled prevalence estimate of hypertension for Southeast Asian urban population was 33.82%. Among this, 33.98% of hypertension was reported in the community and 32.45% among adolescents in school. The common risk factors that we found were male, ethnicity, education and socioeconomic level, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, and dyslipidaemia. The review indicates an urgent need for primary and secondary prevention activities. Therefore, a multisectoral and intersectoral approach and collaboration should be undertaken to improve the overall health outcomes of all populations in all Southeast Asian countries.
