Health Affairs is planning a theme issue focusing on the State of California, scheduled for publication in September 2018. The theme issue will examine developments, trends, and emerging priorities within the State of California, as well as the larger framework of the federal policy environment and how the state is responding.
We plan to publish about 20 peer-reviewed articles in the issue, including several invited overview papers that will highlight distinguishing features of California and activities and trends in the state that bear watching by others.
In filling out the issue, we will put a premium on empirical work–original research, systematic reviews, well-designed case studies–that presents evidence and analysis aimed at supporting future decision making in the state and highlighting lessons for observers in other states and at the national level. We will also consider a small number of commentaries and welcome submissions from leading researchers and scholars, analysts, industry experts, and health and health care stakeholders.
We invite all interested authors to submit abstracts for consideration for this issue. Editors will review the abstracts and, for those that best fit our vision and goals for the issue, invite authors to submit full papers for consideration for the issue.
In order to be considered, abstracts must be submitted no later than 11:59PM Eastern time, November 6, 2017. We regret that we will not be able to consider any abstracts submitted after that date.
Abstract submissions should not exceed 500 words. Please consult our online guidelines for additional formatting instructions and answers to frequently asked questions.
Submit abstracts via our online submission system.
We thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to pass this invitation along to colleagues who might be interested, as well.
