The April, 2009 of the Disability and Health Journal (DHJ) was mailed in early April.  APHA members receive a discount on ($100.00 annually) American Association on Health and Disability membership ( www.aahd.us/membership ), which includes an annual subscription to the peer reviewed journal.  Many APHA Disability Section members have had their research published in the DHJ and we encourage members to submit manuscripts for consideration to www.disabilityandhealthjnl.com .  Guidelines for submission are on the Journal website.

The Communications Committee is charged with keeping our members current on matters pertaining to public health and disability.  We use the Disability Section listserve to quickly communicate with our members.  You should be receiving updates frequently.  If you have not been receiving updates, please send an email to Roberta Carlin at rcarlin@aahd.us.

The next issue of the APHA Disability Section newsletter will be published in late August/early September.  Please send items to be inserted in the newsletter to Roberta Carlin at rcarlin@aahd.us by August 15, 2009.
