Call for papers for new peer-reviewed journal on Community-Based
Participatory Research (CBPR)
----------------------------------------------------------------

from Sarena Seifer <sarena@u.washington.edu>

The Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute in conjunction with the
WK Kellogg Foundation announce the launch of a national peer-
reviewed journal dedicated to community health partnerships.

Progress in Community Health Partnerships: Research, Education,
and Action addresses topics focusing on the growing field of
community-based participatory research (CBPR) while promoting
further collaboration and elevating the visibility and stature
of CBPR as a means toward eliminating health disparities.

The mission of the Journal is to facilitate dissemination of
programs that use community partnerships to improve public
health, to promote progress in the methods of research and edu-
cation involving community health partnerships, and to stimulate
action that will improve the health of people in communities.
Communities, as defined by the Journal, may be based on geogra-
phy, shared interests, or social networks. The Journal is dedi-
cated to supporting the work of community health partnerships
that involve ongoing collaboration between community representa-
tives and academic or governmental partners.

Articles will include:
* Original research (methods sections must provide details on how
community partners were involved in the project; community part-
ners of accepted articles will be interviewed by a member of the
editorial team for a question and answer interview that will be
published along with the article)
* Works in progress and lessons learned
* Community perspectives
* Policy and practice perspectives
* Theory and methods
* Education and training
* Practical tools
* Systematic reviews
* Invited editorials

The first issue is expected in Spring/Summer 2006. For more in-
formation, including how to subscribe and how to submit papers,
