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

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.
