Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the beginning of 2020, the world has been experiencing a pandemic due to the emergence of a novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)) that started in China but spread beyond, affecting the entire globe. Multiple efforts were and still are being implemented to address the study of all aspects of this pandemic. Epidemiology, as the cornerstone of public health and the branch of medicine responsible for the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events (including disease) and the application of this study to the control of diseases and other health problems (World Health Organization) are key to overcoming this crisis and providing future guidelines.
For this Special Issue, we invite researchers to contribute original research articles, particularly providing insight on epidemiology and public health aspects of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic: (1) global health; (2) health policy and management; (3) health promotion and communication; (4) social and behavioral science/health education; (5) environmental health; (6) epidemiological surveillance; (7) computational modeling of disease; (8) geotemporal analytical studies; (9) minority health and health disparities; (10) reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric epidemiology; (11) occupational epidemiology; (12) aging epidemiology; (13) veterinary epidemiology; (14) psychiatric epidemiology; (15) clinical epidemiology; (16) evidence production and translation; (17) health services research and management; and (18) social and economic aspects.
