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.
Supplement: The Global Burden of Disease Brazil network
The main goal of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) project is to provide comprehensive data on disease burden to support evidence-based decision-making and policies at local, regional, national, and global levels. This supplement focuses on topics including health policy, access to healthcare and disease in Brazil.
Supplement: Every Newborn-INDEPTH study
This supplement has key implications for measuring progress for the Sustainable Development Goals, especially those related to Every Newborn target. There are many findings with practical relevance to improved measurement of pregnancy outcomes in population-based surveys.
