Notice to Readers: Call for Manuscripts Addressing Community
Assessment Health Impact (Assessment Initiative Project)
Since 1992, CDC has provided funds through the Assessment Initiative project to improve the ways data are used to
guide public health decisions and policies. States funded by the Assessment Initiative have shared their experiences in
applied data analysis, presentation techniques, policy development, and community health assessment processes and outcomes
through publication in peer-reviewed journals and at the Assessment Initiative annual conferences.
The Journal of Public Health Management and
Practice, a peer-reviewed journal, will focus an issue on the effects
of community health assessments. Of particular interest are the effects of these assessments and supporting tools (e.g.,
web-based data-query systems) on health status, health outcomes, health behaviors, and health-system changes, including changes
in policies, practices, or infrastructure.
Scientists and program managers who are involved in community health assessment, including those from state
and local health departments, federal agencies, community organizations, and universities, are encouraged to submit
two-page proposals for articles to be included in this focus issue. Proposals submitted by state health departments currently
and previously funded by the Assessment Initiative project will be given priority for acceptance.
The two-page proposals should be submitted to Nelson Adekoya by e-mail (nba7@cdc.gov) by March 31, 2007.
Upon acceptance of the proposals, authors will be invited to
develop manuscripts. Manuscripts will then be submitted for
peer review. Additional information regarding the Assessment Initiative is available at
http://www.cdc.gov/epo/dphsi/ai/conference_training.htm.
