Health Affairs: New Call for Submissions for Age-Friendly Health Series
Health Affairs is accepting submissions for the JAHF-sponsored series, "Age-Friendly Health," which aims to improve care for older adults by helping guide the federal, state and local policy agenda through empirical studies and thoughtful, incisive commentary. A new cycle of papers will run through June 30, 2025.
The Age-Friendly Health series is continuing and Health Affairs is interested in work that spans the full range of care settings, including primary and specialty care, hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home and community-based care.
Papers on access, quality, and affordability are welcome; topics could include financing models, coverage, family caregiving, technology, workforce, serious illness care, and social determinants of health, among others. The journal is particularly interested in papers that examine these and other issues through a disparities/equity lens.
Health Affairs is publishing 18 to 21 age-friendly health articles through June 2025, including research articles, commentaries, policy insights, and Narrative Matters. Below is a list of topics of particular and equal interest, but Health Affairs encourages authors to consider other relevant issues as well:
- Nursing homes and other residential care settings
- Home-based care
- COVID
- Equity and disparities
- Mental health and substance abuse
- Telemedicine and other technological aids
- Models of care for older adults and family caregivers
- Rural health
- Workforce
- Financing models and coverage
