The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Series looks beyond the Foundation by offering an in-depth exploration of the fields in which the Foundation has made substantial investments over the years, and offers interesting highlights from each of those fields. Each volume of the series provides an original review article by a leading expert and reprints of the field's most important and influential articles.
- Generalist Medicine and the U.S. offers a comprehensive examination of a field that has been a priority of the Foundation since its establishment in 1972.
- School Health Services and Programs highlights articles and reports the Foundation feels are important and influential to the field of school-based health.
- Tobacco Control Policy explores the field of tobacco-policy research, a field the Foundation helped create in the early 1990s and continues to support today. The New England Journal of Medicine called Kenneth E. Warner's introductory chapter,"the single best source of information about the problem of tobacco use and how to combat it."
- Palliative Care is the first book to provide a comprehensive understanding of the new field that is transforming the way Americans deal with serious illness.
The Health Policy Series is a way for the Foundation to share information with the public and better carry out its mission of improving the health and health care of all Americans. We hope you will enjoy exploring the work in the various fields the Foundation is committed to improving.
