CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS

CALL FOR REVIEWERS FROM HAWAII

SPOTLIGHT ON THE HEALTH OF CALIFORNIA'S NEIGHBOR:

THE HEALTH OF HAWAII'S PEOPLE

KE OLA O NA LAHUI KANAKA MA HAWAI`I

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 1, 2005

PUBLICATION DATE: DECEMBER 1, 2005 (VOLUME 3 ISSUE 4)

The Californian Journal of Health Promotion (http://www.cjhp.org/) continues its focus on the health status and health education programs of California's neighbors. Volume 3, Issue 4, will focus on The Health of Hawaii's People. Hawai`i's geographical, cultural and political history is unique and offers special insight into the health of indigenous and immigrant people, the impact of colonialism on human health and the environment, and efforts to embrace and institutionalize multiculturalism. Thus, Hawai`i's educators, health professionals, and researchers have much to offer the people of Hawai`i, the U.S., and the listening world. The Californian Journal of Health Promotion seeks articles and media that explain: current efforts to improve the well-being of Hawai`i's children and families; school health; educational programs on environmental health; and unique responses to Hawai`i's multicultural population in the clinical, health promotion, and nurse education settings.=20

ISSUE CO-EDITORS: This Issue will be co-edited by Drs. Mark Tomita and Lyndall Ellingson, both kama'aina of Windward O`ahu. Submit all manuscripts and multimedia presentations by e-mail to Lyndall Ellingson (lellingson@csuchico.edu). Postal Mail: Dr. Lyndall Ellingson, Californian Journal of Health Promotion, Department of Health and Community Services, California State University, Chico, Chico, CA 95929-0505. URL: http://www.cjhp.org/. Technical questions concerning files, graphics, video, etc., should be directed to Mark Tomita (mtomita@csuchico.edu).

REVIEWERS: Please send a current CV as an e-mail attachment to Lyndall Ellingson for consideration (lellingson@csuchico.edu).

INCLUSION OF PHOTOS: Please consider including photos in all manuscripts and multimedia presentations submitted. Permission to republish the photos in the CJHP will be required. Photos must be digitized, submitted separately, and should be numbered according to the corresponding figure number. If there are a lot of photos, please submit manuscript and photos on CD-ROM. Higher resolution photos are preferred. Photos that are close-ups of people, especially children, often have an appeal to readers. NOTE: If you would like your photos to be shown in a slideshow, please submit the photos on CD-ROM and name the files in the order they will play (e.g., 001, 002). See "A Children's Poster Contest on Healthy Eating" example at http://www.csuchico.edu/cjhp/3/1/70-72-morton.pdf.
