Introduction to LJPC issue 9.1.

Abstract

Happy New Year everyone. Issue 9.1 signals a 2017 new development for LJPC as we start to develop collaborating sites to illuminate community-oriented integrated care and health promotion (COIC) in different contexts. The four papers are written by LJPC editors and have arisen from discussions at the LJPC Board about how to support authors to evaluate COIC, to highlight emerging issues in ways that reveal practical ways forward, and to learn from colleagues in different places about how to work with skill and humanity in complex situations.
