Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the face of a double burden, “Health Management and Community Medicine” subjects undergo frequent changes according to the need of (specific) communities (urban areas, rural areas, etc.) around the world and to match the field’s dynamic growth since 1970s. The practical aspect is also important for implementing community-based intervention programs, and from learning and training points of view. To our best knowledge, no such practical issues have been released in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public to meet the demands of numerous researchers with diverse careers in this field. Therefore, we hope that interested researchers from all over the world will actively participate in this Special Issue on "Health Management and Community Medicine", as we have planned for its release in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
New research papers, reviews, case reports, and conference papers are welcome to this Issue. Papers dealing with new approaches to deriving health management or community medicine are also welcome. We will also accept methodological papers, position papers, brief reports, and commentaries.
We will accept manuscripts from different disciplines, including health management, community medicine, global health, epidemiology, and intervention studies. Here are some examples of topics that could be addressed in this Special Issue:
- Community medicine: an urban/rural model.
- Competency-based curriculum or training for community medicine.
- Community-based intervention (program) for controlling non-communicable diseases (hypertension, diabetes, etc.).
- Attitudes towards community medicine.
- Community-oriented primary health care.
