The Journal of Ambulatory Care Management is pleased to announce a special supplement on the Brazilian National Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care (PMAQ).
The Journal would like to thank James Macinko (UCLA), Matthew Harris (Imperial College, London) and Marcia Rocha (IDB, Brazil) who served as the Guest Editors of this project.
An important aspect of this opportunity has been the latitude provided by Dr. Goldfield to include pieces not often found in academic journals, such as the "CHW Voices from the Field" in both the previous and the current set of issues. In addition, the issues provide an opportunity for CHWs and allies to become more connected as a community of practice. This stands in contrast to many other peer review venues where we seek to illustrate CHW efficacy and their return on investment -- also important but not so critical for those of us who already feel confident in the truth of both.
Ultimately, the special issues will include more than 12 research articles and commentaries and 7 CHW "Voices from the Field." The issues explore CHWs' role in advocating for their profession and their communities, as well as contributions of CHWs to reforming the US health care system and increasing access to healthy food and nutrition.

These issues and related content have been compiled into the CHW Collection.
