Focus
Globalization and Health offers an international platform for original research, knowledge sharing, and debate on the topic of globalization and its effects on health, with special attention to the ways in which globalization processes affect research and policy. Globalization affects individual and population health in multiple ways, requiring societies to adapt. Processes of global change shape determinants of health including lifestyle, employment, housing, education, and sanitation. Globalization is restructuring human societies, leading to new patterns of health and disease. Globalization is affecting financing, regulation and marketing of healthcare and services.{{cite book |last1=Lee |first1=Kelley |last2=Yach |first2=Derek |last3=Kamradt-Scott |first3=Adam |title=Globalization and Health |date=2011 |pages=885–913 |url=https://summit.sfu.ca/item/10911}}{{cite journal |last1=Woodward |first1=D. |last2=Drager |first2=N. |last3=Beaglehole |first3=R. |last4=Lipson |first4=D. |title=Globalization and health: a framework for analysis and action. |journal=Bulletin of the World Health Organization |date=2001 |volume=79 |issue=9 |pages=875–881 |pmid=11584737 |pmc=2566657 |language=en}}

Globalization and Health publishes articles under the following sections: Development, Disease, Economics and trade, Environment, Governance for health, Health in foreign policy, Health systems, Migration and mobilities, Psychosocial impacts, and Theory, models and methods.
