Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Health: Call for Papers
Deadline: June 30, 2009

The American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) intends to publish a collection of papers on Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander health. There are over 13 million Asian Americans, and over one half million Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. Disparities and inequities experienced by Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have been largely unacknowledged because of stereotyping and lack of data. This issue of AJPH is intended to help build the evidence base that can inform health programming and policy. Emphasis will be placed on research that examines disparities,  cultural and linguistic competency, discrimination, and best practices/ promising models in capacity building, health programming and health care. Additionally, we are interested in manuscripts that feature the use of community-based participatory research, small-sampling methodologies, surname and small-area probability sampling, economic analyses (cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit), meta-analyses, and policy-oriented research.  For more information, visit: http://submit.ajph.org
