The American Journal of Preventive Medicine (AJPM) and the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) are planning a joint-themed issue to address the question "How do we improve population health and promote health equity through the effective integration of primary care and public health?" Guest editors include representatives from the Health Resources and Services Administration, National Institutes of Health, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and CDC.

Papers are invited in the following areas: 1) science (How has integration measurably impacted population health and health equity?), 2) education (How can integration be promoted during professional training and practice?), 3) practice (What are promising practices for integration?), and 4) policy (What policies are effective in promoting integration?)

Submissions coauthored by primary-care and public health professionals are encouraged. All manuscripts will undergo the standard peer-review process by AJPH and AJPM editors and peer referees. Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://ajph.edmgr.com; deadline for submission is August 1, 2011. Additional information is available by contacting the guest editors at AJPH-AJPMPapers@hrsa.gov.
