Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

COVID-19 has had a great impact on the population and our health system worldwide, especially within the past two years, with evidence showing that the pandemic has taken a higher social and psychological toll on women. Public health research should now strive to identify strategies that can counteract this impact in order to move forward. In light of these considerations, this Special Issue aims to showcase advances of women in the field of public health, with a focus on post-COVID-19 impacts on health systems and resilience. We encourage original contributions that focus on the indirect pandemic impacts on chronic diseases, mental health, and physical health. We also welcome studies that describe the implementation of policy measures taken locally, nationally, or internationally to overcome the impacts COVID-19 has had, with recommendations and future directions to be taken in similar scenarios.

While we encourage contributions where the lead author identifies as a woman, we welcome submissions from all authors, irrespective of gender identity.

The challenges of conducting research on intimate partner violence (IPV) in immigrant communities means little is known about the occurrence of various forms of IPV, making it difficult to address in these populations. This research draws on data gathered in Chicago’s large and varied African immigrant communities. This research used a mixed methods approach: collection of quantitative survey data on occurrence, followed by qualitative interviews to explain the results. Missing quantitative data and contradicting qualitative responses made it difficult to draw definite conclusions on physical IPV; however, verbal abuse and controlling behaviours appear to be relatively widespread and normalised, and not always viewed as violence. Particularly with the probability of future pandemics and natural disasters, which are known to increase prevalence, it is important to raise awareness of less visible controlling behaviours and verbal abuse as forms of violence, and to implement appropriate prevention programs to minimise a concomitant rise in IPV within African immigrant communities.
