Membership
Make sure to register to become a member of the PHSSR community. A primary goal of this site is to create and online community for researchers, practitioners and policymakers. Membership will allow you to access all of the features and information available on the site.
Discussion Boards
As registered members, researchers, practitioners & policymakers can discuss topics related to PHSSR. During the 2008 Keeneland Conference, we started a topic called "Are We Asking the Right Questions?" and encourage each member to share their thoughts.
Learning Circles
In addition to the Discussion Board, members may use the Learning Circle to share documents and resources relevant to PHSSR. Members will have access to upload papers, presentations and resources for discussion.
Resources
One of the goals of the PHSSR initiative is to provide members with valuable resources to support their work. Our team of librarians and researchers have prepared a PHSSR reference library of over 350 sources. Additionally, members interested in Data Harmonization may find the Synoptic Analysis of the NACCHO, ASTHO and NALBOH Surveys helpful.
PHSSR Special Issue of HSR Journal Manuscripts are currently being accepted for potential inclusion in the HSR supplement. Guidelines for writers interested in submitting are available in our Research section.
