The American Journal of Public Health (AJPH), along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will soon be releasing a supplement issue on the Evolution of Public Health Emergency Management from Preparedness to Response and Recovery and is seeking authors to submit their manuscripts on related topics.
The supplement will highlight innovative and effective strategies, solutions and policies used in U.S. public health emergency management since Sept. 11, 2001.
AJPH said it is inviting any epidemiological, social and clinical research and evaluation articles, perspectives and critical reviews of specific challenges and insights into public health emergency management. The publication also said that papers which highlight transformational practices and evaluate policies that demonstrate advancement across 15 public health preparedness capabilities defined by the CDC are encouraged.
Topics of interest for the supplement include best practice models, research gaps, policies and implications related to biosurveillance, community resilience, countermeasures, mitigation strategies, incident management, information management and surge management.
AJPH is encouraging authors to visit its website (www.ajph.org) to view instructions and guidelines for submission. All manuscripts must be submitted no later than Jan. 15 via the online submission portal provided.
