Health & Place

An interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of the role of place in understanding health and health care.

Recent years have seen closer links evolving between health geography, medical sociology, health policy, public health, and epidemiology, among other disciplines. The journal reflects these convergences, which emphasise differences in health and health-related experiences between places, the social, cultural and political processes shaping the contexts for health, the health-related experience of healthcare provision, the development of health care for places, and the innovative methodologies and theories underpinning the study of these issues.

The journal publishes original research articles, short communications, opinion papers and reviews relevant to any aspects of health where place is a central theme in the research. It brings together contributors from geography, sociology, social policy, population health science, public health and other related disciplines.
