Abstract

The urbanization development has resulted in young farmers’ emigration to big cities, and the left middle aged and elderly farmers generally show declining physical and mental functions and are suffering from chronic diseases. Physical health is the major demands of the middle aged and the elderly. To protect the physical and mental health and enhance the quality of life, the government has positively promotion of rural health teaching strategy to reinforce preventive health care, make screening, and manage and prevent chronic
diseases. In this study, Delphi Method is utilized for drafting the performance evaluation indicators for rural health teaching strategy and Data Envelopment Analysis is applied to evaluate efficiency. Taking Zhejiang Province as the research object, cities in Zhejiang Province are selected total 13 DMUs in this study. The research results show that 1. 1 DMU presents strong rural health teaching strategy efficiency, 5 DMUs reveal the rural health teaching strategy practice efficiency in 0.9 and 1, and 7 DMUs appear the rural health teaching strategy practice efficiency lower than 0.9 and 2. the key factors in rural health teaching strategy are found out through  sensitivity analysis to understand the sensitivity to efficiency. Finally, suggestions are proposed according to the results, expecting to help farmers present the knowledge and skill about disease prevention and health enhancement so as to promote self-preventive health care and further enhance health quality.
