Health Affairs is planning a December 2016 theme issue on oral health. Among other topics, we are interested in work exploring coverage, access, and utilization; disparities and special populations; workforce, training, and scope of practice; prevention; and the relationship between oral health and overall health.
We plan to publish approximately ten peer-reviewed articles including research, analyses, and commentaries from leading researchers and scholars, analysts, industry experts, and health and health care stakeholders.
We invite all interested authors to submit abstracts for consideration for this issue. In order to be considered, abstracts must be submitted by 11:59PM EST, March 8, 2016. If you wish to submit an abstract, please send it as an email attachment to HealthAffairs_Oral_Health_abstracts@projecthope.org
The issue will include at least one paper that provides an overview of the historic split between dental care and the larger medical care system and the implications of this split, with an eye toward the future of oral health care in the U.S. In filling out the issue, we are particularly interested in empirical analyses of specific policies, programs, and practices that relate to oral health in the U.S. and abroad, including papers that explore innovative models and practices to improve care.
More information on topics and themes for this issue, as well as process guidelines and timetables, is available in the request for abstracts on the Health Affairs website. Please consult our online abstract submission guidelines for additional formatting instructions and answers to frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions, please email Oral_Health_queries@healthaffairs.org. Feel free to pass this invitation along to colleagues who might be interested as well.
