HEALTH AFFAIRS REQUEST FOR ABSTRACTS-Climate and Health

**Health Affairs** is planning a theme issue on climate and health, to
be published in December 2020. We thank the Kresge Foundation and the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for their generous support of this issue.

We primarily seek empirical work-original research, systematic
reviews, well-designed case studies-that presents evidence and
analysis aimed at contributing to our knowledge. Papers should have a
strong policy orientation, and we will put a premium on work that
supports future planning and decision making. We are interested in
reports of successful and failed initiatives and will also consider a
small number of commentaries and overview papers to supplement the
empirical work and provide context.

**Deadline: February 24, 2020**

particular opportunity to reduce disparities by focusing programs in
areas where older Americans suffer the worst outcomes. Harlan Krumholz
and coauthors say that the identification of geographic health priority
areas for Medicare
could
inform efforts to eliminate health disparities and improve health care.
