BMC at APHA & EPH 2019
BMC will be at the American Public Health Association Meeting in Philadelphia and the European Public Health Conference in Marseille this November – come speak to us about your research!
Visit our Public Health page to explore the journals we publish in your field, and find a special selection of content relevant to the themes of these conferences.
Aims and scope
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.
