Global Health Epidemiology and Disease Control

Dear Colleagues,

Global health deals with health issues and determinants that overcome national borders, aiming to improve health with a global perspective and achieve equity for all people. Over the last decades, growing challenges are emerging in this area, and understanding of the complexity of global health issues is crucial for strengthening health systems and informing policies at national and international levels.

This Special Issue of Epidemiologia focuses on the current state of the knowledge surrounding global health epidemiology, its challenges, and its opportunities for improvement. Epidemiologic research with a global focus and relevant studies are welcome. Possible examples include, but are not limited to, major determinants that influence individuals’ and populations’ health, factors that affect the burden of disease, interactions with pollutants and climate change, health assessments in low-resource settings, food and nutritional safety, health in mobile populations, and travel medicine.

We look forward to receiving your contributions, both qualitative and quantitative, on global health epidemiology.

Dr. Pietro Ferrara
Guest Editor
