Abstract

This article shows that the application of concept of public  health survey of health conditions using Multilevel  Structural Equation Model (MSEM) with health survey.  MSEM was chosen in order to be farsighted the digital  disrupted and pandemic of coronavirus-19 disease among  the change of technology, health survey with new normal  that these have been little and unclear. This study was to  the explained of individual-between levels, and  strength/weakness of MSEM in public health survey.  Methods:  Public health survey was chosen in order to  handle data transformation.


The results showed that MSEM at the individual level is  determined by public health survey about at 50- 100  groups, and the between level is determined by the health  facilities about 450-9800 peoples. The performance on  MSEM showed improvement, especially on the efficiency of  the new modeling needed for digital disruptions. It  helped to reduce the complexity in health conditions.  MSEM have performed the prevention and control of  pandemics, all health behaviors, quality of life, life  expectancy, cancer, chronic diseases, occupation health  and safety. These should also be applied to the public  health survey for the novel of performance variables, the  body of knowledge, the application among active  surveillance in digital disruption.
