Health Affairs Publishing

Health Affairs Publishing turns complex health policy research into clear insights that guide decision makers toward effective solutions.

Peer-Reviewed Research and Analysis

As the gold standard in rigorous, peer-reviewed health policy research, we advance the field through our monthly flagship Health Affairs journal, our open access journal Health Affairs Scholar, and timely Health Policy Briefs. Founded in 1981, Health Affairs is one of the nation’s most read and influential health policy journals.

Commentary, Analysis, and Convening

We bring together policy experts and private-sector leaders to share their perspectives on health policy. Their insights are delivered through daily articles on the heavily cited Health Affairs Forefront; in newsletters and events from Health Affairs Insider; through timely and influential free events; and in candid conversations on our podcasts.

Underpinned by Our Commitment to Research for All

Health Affairs Publishing is committed to elevating health research that is applicable to all populations. We develop and implement strategies to promote the publication of research that examines variations in outcomes related to health services and health policy, such as through our Health Equity Fellowship for Trainees program and Community Voices.
