NIH hosts event to launch Council of Science Editors' global theme issue
Date:10/22/2007

to Fogarty Director Roger I. Glass, M.D. By developing health care delivery strategies that achieve effective and sustained coverage in diverse cultural and economic settings, we can move closer to bridging this equity gap in global health.

Two previous global theme issues have been organized by the editors of JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association). In January 1996, more than 200 articles on emerging and reemerging global microbial threats were published by 36 journals from 21 countries. In 1997, 97 journals in 31 countries published on the theme of aging.

"It is gratifying that the number of journals participating in the 2007 Global Health theme issue is more than double the number involved in a similar effort a decade ago, said Betsy Humphreys, MLS, NLM deputy director. This reflects progress in scientific journal publishing in the developing world, as well as increased recognition that global health disparities affect the well-being of all of us."

The scientific papers being presented are being moderated by Catherine DeAngelis, M.D., Editor-in-chief, JAMA and Fiona Godlee, M.D., Editor-in-chief, BMJ (British Medical Journal).

Presentations in order of delivery:

  • Food insufficiency is associated with high-risk sexual behavior among women in Botswana and Swaziland, published by PloS Medicine and presented by Dr. Sheri Weiser, University of California San Francisco

  • Reduced in-hospital mortality after improved management of children less than five years of age hospitalized with malaria A randomized trial, published by BMJ and presented by Dr. Sidu Biai and Dr. Amabelia de Jesus Pereira Rodrigues, Bandim Health Project (Guinea Bissau, West Africa)

  • Human resources for treating HIV/AIDS: Needs, capacities, and gaps, published by AIDS Patient Care and STDs and presented by Dr. Salal Humair, Lahore University of Management & Sciences (Lahore, Pakistan) and Dr
