Description:
Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) remains committed to its mission of promoting dialogue among researchers, practitioners, and policy makers worldwide on the integration of evaluation, research, and practical experience to improve population health. Publishing articles on critical topics related to chronic disease is one of the ways the journal fulfills that mission, disseminating proven and promising findings, innovations, and practices.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), represents the greatest medical and public health challenge in decades. As a result, medical professionals and public health experts, as well as the general public, are all scrambling to understand and respond to this crisis. We are learning that the effects of COVID-19 on the health and well-being of individuals is greater among those living with underlying conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and chronic lung disease. Emerging data also indicate that racial and ethnic groups are at an increased risk

of serious illness and death from COVID-19. Persistent social determinants further compound the negative effects that COVID-19 has on people with a chronic condition. Examples of social determinants of health that have brought to light these disparities in health outcomes include unstable housing, limited access to nutritious food, inadequate transportation, and low socioeconomic status.

PCD has recently received an influx of manuscripts related to COVID-19. In addition to expediting peer review of these manuscripts, PCD is putting together a special supplement

that will consist of 16 commentaries generated by individuals working on the front lines of the pandemic. They share expertise on the bidirectional relationship between chronic disease and COVID-19, its impact on population health in the United States and around the world, and early thinking on emerging public health approaches to address COVID-19 and chronic disease. These authors represent an impressive mix of expertise in public health, medicine, infectious disease, health disparities, health equity, community engagement, community organization, nursing, pharmacy, oral public health, health communication, health system change, environmental health, geographic information system, geospatial analyses, and more.

We hope this special supplement contributes to ongoing efforts during this pandemic to provide reliable, peer-reviewed research and proven practices to improve health outcomes worldwide for both COVID-19 and chronic disease. The topics featured below represent areas in which future submissions would be of great interest to the journal, and PCD will continue to release timely peer-reviewed articles on COVID-19 as new information comes available.
