Chronic Disease Epidemiology: Advances in Research and Methods

Special Issue: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (Impact factor: 2.849).

Guest Editors: Dr. Ahmed Arif and Dr. Rajib Paul

For this Special Issue, we welcome original articles and reviews on epidemiological research and/or methods focusing on chronic diseases. Research articles based on primary or secondary data focusing on social determinants of health, access to care, interventions, longitudinal studies, and risk factors of chronic diseases are encouraged. This Special Issue will also consider articles on the impact of chronic health conditions on Covid-19 severity. Epidemiological methods based on spatiotemporal analyses, Bayesian methods, multilevel modeling, time series analysis, or causal inference using theoretical or empirical approaches are also of interest. Research-to-practice articles highlighting the successful implementation of evidence-based research will also be considered.
