Call for Papers
Health Services Research Theme Issue: Health Equity
Submission deadline: November 1, 2017
Health Services Research (HSR) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Office of Minority Health (CMS OMH) are partnering to publish a Theme Issue on Health Equity.
For this Theme Issue, they are soliciting studies, evaluations, and policy analyses that use rigorous and scientific research methods to promote health equity and reduce health disparities. They encourage work from a variety of disciplines including health services research, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health, sociology, social work, economics, political science, anthropology, history of science, and others.
All papers must pertain to health equity and must report the results of original research. Papers that are primarily editorial or opinion-based will not be considered. They strongly encourage cutting-edge research that explores intersectionality, reflecting the theoretical framework related to the intersection of two or more social risk factors (e.g. race, socioeconomic status) as they jointly influence equity in health and healthcare.
