Call for Papers: Annals of Behavioral Medicine Special Section on Health Disparities
Letters of intent (LOIs) for the first special section are requested by July 26, 2011
The composition of the U.S. is becoming more demographically diverse, particularly in the number of people of color (e.g., Macera, Armstead, & Anderson, 2000). These changes in population demographics have far-reaching implications for research, practice and policy, as well as the future of behavioral medicine (Whitfield, 2002; Yali & Revenson, 2004). Annals of Behavioral Medicine is committed to publishing excellent research in health disparities. Toward this end, the journal is inviting submissions as part of a series of special sections focused on racial/ethnic health disparities. The journal aims to attract a broad set of manuscripts on a variety of disease conditions, intervention modalities, and risk/protective factor(s). For further details go to website.
