Discussion Boards
As registered members, researchers, practitioners & policymakers can discuss topics related to PHSSR. During the 2008 Keeneland Conference, we started a topic called "Are We Asking the Right Questions?" and encourage each member to share their thoughts.
Learning Circles
In addition to the Discussion Board, members may use the Learning Circle to share documents and resources relevant to PHSSR. Members will have access to upload papers, presentations and resources for discussion.
Resources
One of the goals of the PHSSR initiative is to provide members with valuable resources to support their work. Our team of librarians and researchers have prepared a PHSSR reference library of over 350 sources. Additionally, members interested in Data Harmonization may find the Synoptic Analysis of the NACCHO, ASTHO and NALBOH Surveys helpful.
PHSSR Special Issue of HSR Journal
Manuscripts are currently being accepted for potential inclusion in the HSR supplement. Guidelines for writers interested in submitting are available in our Research section.
Important Links
Members will find quick links to various resources on our site. One such resource base is the National Library of Medicine(NLM). |
