The editors seek manuscripts that advance scientific knowledge and illustrate how public health professionals can address SDH across a range of public health activities that promote health equity among populations most disproportionately impacted by infectious and/or chronic diseases.
Manuscripts may be analytic or descriptive in format and should report on SDH approaches in public health research, surveillance, communication, policy, program, capacity building, or partnership activities.
The goal for the Supplement is to highlight best practices in addressing SDH across a broad range of public health activities.
Manuscripts addressing the following broad range of topics are requested:
· Partnerships, particularly multisectoral, that address SDH and contribute to health equity;
· Design of policies, programs, and interventions to address SDH and contribute to health equity;
· Specific policies and interventions from health or other sectors designed to address SDH and contribute to health equity, with priority placed on those with demonstrated effectiveness;
· Implementation and scale-up of effective interventions that address SDH;
· Measurement, monitoring, and evaluation of the impact (anticipated and unanticipated) of policies, programs, and interventions on SDH and health equity, including development of innovative approaches;
· Capacity building at the program and/or organizational level to address SDH and contribute to health equity; and
· Best practices for communicating about disproportionately impacted populations, populations at high-risk for infectious and/or chronic diseases, health disparities, SDH, or health equity.
