Virtual themed issues are being created to cover key themes that have appeared across a number of issues of Critical Public Health. The first themed issues appear below. Others will follow over the course of the next year. An editorial introduces the article on each theme and electronic links are provided to every article published from 2000 onwards. Simply click on the link in either the text or the editorial’s reference list. Electronic links will gradually be added for pre-2000 articles. The virtual themed issues will be updated annually.
