SCOPE OF JOURNAL: The Disability and Health Journal is a peer reviewed scholarly, scientific and multi-disciplinary journal for reporting original contributions that advance knowledge in disability and health. Such contributions may include:
- Reports of empirical research on the characteristics of persons with disabilities, environments, health outcomes and determinants of health
- Systematic reviews and tightly conceived theoretical interpretations of research literatures
- Evaluate research on new interventions, technologies and programs
The Disability and Health Journal intends to advance the conceptual framework of the international classification of functioning, disability, and health to describe health and health related states, but will not limit the publications to this framework. The Disability and Health Journal will provide a forum for peer reviewed articles that identify, evaluate and promote existing and emerging models of healthcare delivery/promotion which contributes to the improvement of healthcare across the lifespan.
The focus of the Disability and Health Journal will be public health, health promotion, health education, wellness and prevention, and disability research. The Journal will incorporate population and clinical based studies. The journal would incorporate articles related to descriptions and analysis of disability domains and impairment groups, analysis and modeling of relationship between individual and environmental factors resulting in health and health related states, and conceptual articles about disabilities and health.
FREQUENCY: The Journal will be published quarterly in hard copy and be available in electronic formats to the institutional market.
AUDIENCE: The primary audience will include disability researchers, public health professionals, public health officials, academic professionals, disability professionals, health promotion specialists, epidemiologists, educators, physicians, health policy experts, health administrators, nurses, biostatisticians, rehabilitation counselors, social scientists, and psychologists, etc.
