Rural Health Theme Issue of the American Journal of Public Health

The American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) is planning a theme issue on rural health scheduled for publication in October 2004.

The guest editors at the School of Rural Public Health of the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center are soliciting contributions to the "Research and Practice" section of that issue. Twelve to 17 articles focusing on major research issues and practice activities in rural public health will be selected for possible publication in that issue. All papers will undergo peer review by the AJPH's editorial team, as per usual practice. In order to be considered for inclusion in the theme issue, articles must be submitted by Jan. 15, 2004, through the online submission at <http://submit.ajph.org>. This Web site also provides Instructions for Authors, including specific guidelines for Research and Practice articles. When submitting articles, please select "Rural Health" under the Theme Issue menu. Additional information concerning the theme issue can be obtained by contacting Charles D. Phillips, PhD, MPH, at <phillipscd@srph.tamushsc.edu>. "In theory, theory and practice are the same thing. In practice they're not."
