About the journal
The only professional journal in the US that focuses exclusively on contemporary health care issues of low-income, under-represented, and other medically underserved communities, the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved addresses such diverse areas as health care access, quality, costs, legislation, regulation, promotion and disease prevention. JHCPU is the official journal of the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved.
Instructions to Authors
The Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved publishes original papers, guest editorials, brief communications, and reviews regarding the health of low-income and other medically underserved people. We welcome manuscripts. Though our concerns-access to, quality of, and cost of health care-are universal, our primary focus is domestic rather than international. Questions about the suitability of a topic should be directed to the editor. Prospective authors must complete and enclose the following checklist with their manuscripts and must submit hard copies by mail as well as an electronic copy (either on disk or as an e-mail attachment). Submit your manuscript to:
