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.

According to the WHO, as of July 2023, there have been nearly 7 million deaths due to COVID-19 globally, and at least double that number in uncounted excess mortality attributable to the pandemic. COVID-19 mortality has varied over time, and by nation, within country geography and across demographics.
This collection will include research focused on the COVID-19 pandemic mortality and other metrics of population health, including studies of descriptive epidemiology at the population level, burden of disease, disease and risk factor modeling, excess deaths, and comparative assessment of risks to health at the population level.
