JAOA calls for research papers

The Zika virus and pain management treatment amid the nation’s opioid epidemic are just a few examples of health issues on which physicians need current evidence-based information they can implement in a timely fashion to enhance patient care.

The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association (JAOA) seeks to ensure its content provides physicians with information they need by issuing a call for papers on the following timely health topics:

• Outbreaks in a globalized world (Ebola, Zika virus).
• Opioid use, abuse and alternatives in pain management.
• Chronic pain and pain rehabilitation.
• Vaping, marijuana and cannabinoids.
• Lifestyle medicine in disease management and prevention.
• Elderly patient care.

Manuscripts are subject to the review and approval of the AOA editor in chief. The JAOA prefers high-quality research manuscripts and reviews.

Be sure to consult the JAOA’s Information for Authors before submitting your manuscript.
