Disease Control Priorities (DCP3)
2024
The Disease Control Priorities Network (DCP) is a multi-year project within the University of Washington’s Department of Global Health and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). DCP was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2010 with the overall goal of promoting and supporting the use of economic evaluation for priority setting at both global and national levels, as well as providing the most up-to-date evidence on intervention efficacy and program effectiveness for the leading causes of global disease burden.
DCP3 allows users to access all nine volumes of the third edition of the landmark Disease Control Priorities (DCP3) publications addressed to specific audiences interested in some of the most pressing global challenges. The first eight focus on conceptually related health challenges—essential surgery, maternal/child health, cancer, mental and neurological disorders, cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, major infectious diseases, injury prevention, and child and adolescent development—and each package addresses the disease burden, interventions, policies, and economics of that cluster of health issues. The ninth volume provides an overview with main findings and conclusions about achieving health priorities. DCP3 chapters, background papers, articles, reports, briefs, and related resources are publicly accessible.
