Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health
Scope & Guideline
Empowering knowledge for a healthier world.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Clinical Epidemiology:
The journal emphasizes the study of health and disease in populations, focusing on the distribution, determinants, and outcomes of health-related states and events. - Global Health Perspectives:
It addresses health issues that transcend national boundaries, examining the impact of socio-economic, cultural, and environmental factors on health outcomes worldwide. - Intervention Studies:
The journal frequently publishes randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies that evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of health interventions. - Health Systems Research:
Research that investigates healthcare delivery systems, policies, and practices, aiming to improve health system performance and access to care. - Public Health Initiatives:
The scope includes studies that assess public health initiatives and community-based interventions aimed at preventing disease and promoting health. - Epidemiological Trends:
The journal focuses on identifying and analyzing trends in disease prevalence, risk factors, and health outcomes, particularly in underserved populations.
Trending and Emerging
- COVID-19 Research:
A significant increase in publications related to COVID-19, including studies on vaccine efficacy, public health responses, and mental health impacts, reflecting the urgent need to understand and mitigate the pandemic's effects. - Mental Health Awareness:
Emerging research on mental health, particularly in the context of chronic diseases and public health crises, indicates a growing recognition of its importance in overall health outcomes. - Health Equity and Social Determinants of Health:
Increasing attention is being paid to the impact of social determinants on health disparities, emphasizing the need for research that addresses health equity and access. - Digital Health Interventions:
The rise of telemedicine and digital health technologies has led to an increase in studies evaluating their effectiveness and integration into traditional healthcare systems. - Nutrition and Public Health:
There is an emerging focus on nutrition-related research, particularly regarding its role in preventing non-communicable diseases and addressing malnutrition in diverse populations. - Environmental Health Studies:
Research exploring the relationship between environmental factors and health outcomes has gained prominence, reflecting a broader understanding of health determinants.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Medicine Studies:
Research focusing on traditional medicine practices has decreased, possibly due to a growing emphasis on evidence-based medicine and the need for rigorous clinical validation. - Single-Disease Focus:
There is a noticeable decline in studies that focus exclusively on single diseases without considering comorbidities or broader health impacts, reflecting a more integrated approach to health research. - Animal Studies:
Research involving animal models, particularly in the context of human disease, has seen a reduction, as there is a shift towards human-centric studies that better inform clinical practices. - Epidemic and Pandemic Preparedness:
The focus on preparedness for specific epidemics, outside of COVID-19, appears to be waning as immediate concerns shift towards managing ongoing public health crises. - Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs):
While NCDs remain a critical area, the volume of publications specifically addressing these without integrating discussions on lifestyle and preventive measures has decreased.
