Featured Journals
Global Public Health
Global Public Health is an essential peer-reviewed journal that energetically engages with key public health issues that have come to the fore in the global environment — mounting inequalities between rich and poor, the globalization of trade, new patterns of travel and migration, epidemics of newly-emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the increase in chronic illnesses, escalating pressure on public health infrastructures around the world, and the growing range and scale of conflict situations, terrorist threats, environmental pressures, natural and human-made disasters.
Health, Risk & Society
Health, Risk & Society demonstrates how social processes influence the ways in which risks and uncertainties in healthcare are identified, communicated, assessed, and/or managed. This international journal aims to stimulate debate around the role of risk and uncertainty in society through editorials, reviews, and original articles.
