Patient Related Outcome Measures
ISSN: 1179-271X
The following Article Collections/ Thematic Series are currently open for submissions:
Veterans and military patient-related health outcomes: Part 2
In 2019, Patient Related Outcome Measures published a Thematic Series entitled “Veterans and military patient-related health outcomes”, seeking to publish research studies in topics concerning veterans and military health. We published studies that identified and measured clinically relevant outcomes cross-sectionally and longitudinally, as well as studies that identified the effectiveness of interventions to improve patient-related outcomes in veterans and military service personnel.
Modern medicine and scientific research owe a special debt to the care and well-being of service personnel who endure, sometimes multiple, deployments in times of war and conflict. The intense nature of violent conflict, isolation and distance from their family and home, and exposure to harsh conditions and chemicals puts these populations at risk for both acute and chronic, often lifelong adverse patient-related physical and mental health outcomes.
The Editors of Patient Related Outcome Measures are now revisiting the topic and are pleased to invite you to submit your original research and review articles to an upcoming Thematic Series on "Veterans and Military Patient-Related Health Outcomes: Part 2", edited by our Editor-in-Chief, Dr Liana Bruce.
Upon submission, please use the promo code QPPWH for 20% off the advertised article processing charge and indicate that your manuscript will be considered for the Thematic Series of "Veterans and military patient-related health outcomes: Part 2". The deadline for manuscripts is the 30th June 2023.

About the Thematic Series
Social determinants of health (SDH) are the non-medical factors impacting health outcomes. SDH comprise a set of process outcomes that may help or hinder specific populations to get healthy, stay healthy and importantly to access optimal healthcare resources in their communities.
The shift to value-based care seeks to incentivize prevention of illness and chronic disease through appropriate lifestyle behaviors, but we also need measures to address these SDH in order to overcome these longstanding inequities and improve outcomes.
This Special Thematic Issue of Patient Related Outcome Measures invites original research, opinion pieces and commentaries sharing success stories, failures and lessons learned in SDH measurement, implementation, and intervention design. The Thematic Series will consider all SDH in chronic disease – such as diabetes, COPD, kidney disease, heart disease to give just a few examples.
Topics to consider for submission include:
• Best practices for participation and effectiveness of community-based healthy behaviour promotion – such as mobile cancer screening vans at churches, barbershop campaigns, gardening, cooking classes etc.
• Cost-benefit analysis of transportation provision to access healthcare – such as dialysis visits
• The impact of poor nutrition on chronic disease – for example, the benefit of nutrition counseling for lowering HbA1c in a food desert
• The role that poor housing and the environment play in chronic disease
• Job insecurity and unemployment
• Quantifying the impact of self-reported or algorithm/imputed SDH data in predicting population health intervention costs and outcomes
