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.
