Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health will be devoted to digital interventions that support self-management in individuals across the continuum of prevention, early intervention, and management in long-term physical or mental health conditions.
In our ever-changing world, in which digital technology is becoming part of our everyday lives, a more nuanced understanding of how digital interventions can impact our physical, psychological, and social health is of critical importance if we are to make the most of the opportunities that they afford in order to address our most pressing health issues. This Special Issue will add to our knowledge base and advance our understanding of digital interventions and self-management in research and practice across the globe.
We encourage you to submit original empirical studies, as well as systematic reviews or meta-analyses. Short reports and methodological papers will also be considered. In particular, we encourage the submission of interdisciplinary work and multicountry collaborative research and manuscripts that address (but are not limited to) digital interventions and self-management applications from the following perspectives:
- ‘Hard-to-reach’ populations;
- Rural and remote contexts;
- Co-morbidity and multimorbidity;
- Consumer perspectives;
- Peer support;
- Descriptions of the development, implementation, validation, or evaluation of interventions;
- Empirical studies (quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method) applied to any subject related to digital interventions (broadly defined) in high- and/or low-resource environments.
If you have an idea but are not certain whether this falls into the scope of this Special Issue, you are invited to contact the Guest Editor, Professor Sharon Lawn.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Prof. Dr. Sharon Lawn
Guest Editor
