The August 2009 issue of the
Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics
provides a special focus on public health issues and chiropractic care. This second annual issue offers a wide range of public health topics from preventive health services training and chiropractic care of older adults to hygiene and the evidence-based Web site that the Chiropractic Health Care Section offers on immunizations and vaccines (see below for the JMPT table of contents).
Through the generosity of the National University of Health Sciences and Elsevier, the CHC Section will receive extra copies of this special issue of the JMPT for distribution at the APHA Annual Meeting, the chiropractic sessions, and the CHC booth.
We are already beginning to prepare for the 2010 issue. Articles for the 2010 public health-themed issue of the JMPT can be submitted throughout this year and should be submitted no later than Feb. 1, 2010. Guidelines for submissions can be found at: www.jmptonline.org or by contacting the editor at cjohnson@nuhs.edu.
