The AustralianThe Australian Journal of Primary Health normally publishes three kinds of papers organised into discrete sections. Forum papers are typically discussions of policy issues; research papers report on significant primary health care research; and the practice and innovation papers take an evidence-based approach to practice in the primary health care field. Papers relevant to all these sections are welcome.
Papers should reach AJPH by January 30, 2009.
