Abstract
This article introduces a themed issue focused on COVID-19 as it relates to community health. In the context of attempting to curb transmission, a great deal of focus has been placed on community mitigation efforts. These efforts have presented a variety of challenges. This themed issue aims to give an overview of two important aspects of community mitigation, namely, issues relating to COVID-19 related messaging and reactions of different communities to the COVID-19 pandemic. The manuscripts in this issue demonstrate a range of methodology and offer insight into areas of COVID-19 research that can inform community health. They also cover an extensive range of topics and contribute to the literature in terms of informing efforts related to constructing effective messaging and identifying areas of need. Both of these focal points have implications for prevention and intervention.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityis on the cutting edge of social action and change, not only covering current thought and developments, but also defining future directions in the field. Under the editorship of Joseph R. Ferrari since 1995, Prevention in Human Services was retitled as the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityto reflect its focus of providing professionals with information on the leading, effective programs for community intervention and prevention of problems. Because of its intensive coverage of selected topics and the sheer length of each issue, the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community is the first-and in many cases, primary-source of information for mental health and human services development.
