In 2014 the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation announced its Culture of Health initiative, which promotes health, well-being, and equity as national priorities. The goal is to encourage behavior and policies that enhance opportunities for individuals to lead healthier lives. The initiative identifies roles for individuals, communities, commercial entities, and public policy that extend beyond the reach of medical care into sectors not traditionally associated with health, and encourages a comprehensive vision for health promotion through cross-sector collaboration.
Health Affairs is planning a theme issue in November 2016 that will explore various aspects of the Culture of Health. We plan to publish 15-20 peer-reviewed articles including research, analyses, and commentaries from leading researchers and scholars, analysts, industry experts, and health and health care stakeholders.
If you wish to submit an abstract, please send it as an e-mail attachment by 11:59 PM EST, March 28, 2016 to HealthAffairs_Culture_of_Health_abstracts@projecthope.org
The issue will include overview papers that provide the rationale and evidence base for the four action areas spelled out in the Foundation's Action Framework: 1) Making Health a Shared Value; 2) Fostering Cross-Sector Collaboration to Improve Well-Being; 3) Creating Healthier, More Equitable Communities; and 4) Strengthening Integration of Health Services and Systems. We will also consider commentaries from leading thinkers representing different viewpoints.
In filling out the issue, we are particularly interested in empirical analyses that will shed light on specific dimensions of this approach to health improvement. We will consider new empirical studies, review/synthesis pieces, case studies, and analyses of state and local or private sector initiatives. We are also interested in global learning, and encourage authors to submit work presenting lessons from abroad.
More information is available at the link above. If you have questions about the suitability of a particular paper, please e-mail us at cultureofhealth_queries@projecthope.org.
