SAGE Partners with NCCHC to Publish the Journal of Correctional 
Health Care

SAGE is pleased to announce it's now partnering with the National 
Commission on Correctional Health Care to publish the Journal of 
Correctional Health Care. Edited by John R. Miles, MPA, this 
quarterly, peer-reviewed scientific journal focuses on the latest 
developments in correctional health care.

The January 2006 issue of Journal of Correctional Health Care is 
now available at <http://jchc.sagepub.com> located on SAGE 
Journals Online. Additional content will be uploaded in June.

Featuring original research, case studies, best practices and 
literature reviews, the Journal addresses areas such as: clinical 
health care, health services and support, staffing, ethical 
issues, medical records, risk management and medical-legal 
issues. Each issue also has a self-study exam by which 
professionals may earn continuing education credit.

"While the main focus of the Journal of Correctional Health Care 
is on inmates," commented Mr. Miles, an eminent public health 
expert with a 39-year history at the Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention, "their families, neighborhoods and even the 
corrections staff also benefit. The Journal provides the forum to 
discuss collaborations between corrections and public health 
programs at all levels and to disseminate research findings to 
correctional, public health and community care providers."

"Our strategic alliance with SAGE will be a tremendous benefit to 
researchers and practitioners in this growing field," added NCCHC 
president Edward A. Harrison. "With surging awareness that 
correctional health care is a vital element of public health, 
access to the best available research is more important than 
ever. NCCHC and SAGE are committed to leading the way in this 
field, and together will provide new resources to enhance the 
practice of correctional medicine."
