Hopkins GIM: What's New

Dr. Bass Named Editor-in-Chief of New Journal

The Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute has announced the launch of a national peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the work of community health partnerships. Called Progress in Community Health Partnerships: Research, Education and Action, the new journal will address topics focusing on the growing field of community-based participatory research (CBPR) while promoting further collaboration and elevating the visibility and stature of CBPR in order to eliminate health disparities and improve health outcomes.

The Division’s Dr. Eric Bass, MD, MPH, Professor of Medicine and Senior Faculty Research Fellow with the Urban Health Institute, has been named the Journal’s Editor-in-Chief. In addition, the Division’s Dr. David Levine, MD, MPH, ScD, will serve as an associate editor, and GIM fellows Bryan Bordeaux and Karran Phillips, MD, will serve as editorial fellows.

The journal is funded by a grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan. “By creating a journal that is dedicated to the vital work being performed by community health partnerships, we will give such partnerships the support they need to maximize their impact on the health of communities,” said Dr. Bass. For more information, contact Managing Editor Mark Newgent.
