Population Health Metrics
Published by Springer Nature
eISSN : 1478-7954
Abbreviation : Popul. Health Metr.
Aims & Scope
Population Health Metrics aims to advance the science of population health assessment, and welcomes papers relating to concepts, methods, ethics, applications, and summary measures of population health.
The journal provides a unique platform for population health researchers to share their findings with the global community.
We seek research that addresses the communication of population health measures and policy implications to stakeholders; this includes papers related to burden estimation and risk assessment, and research addressing population health across the full range of development.
Population Health Metrics covers a broad range of topics encompassing health state measurement and valuation, summary measures of population health, descriptive epidemiology at the population level, burden of disease and injury analysis, disease and risk factor modeling for populations, and comparative assessment of risks to health at the population level.
The journal is also interested in how to use and communicate indicators of population health to reduce disease burden, and the approaches for translating from indicators of population health to health-advancing actions.
As a cross-cutting topic of importance, we are particularly interested in inequalities in population health and their measurement.
