Families, Systems, & Health
Families, Systems, & Health® is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal addressing integrated care, with a particular focus on health, systems, and family science.
We are using the Peek Lexicon definition of integrated care: “The care that results from a practice team of primary care and behavioral health clinicians, working together with patients and families, using a systematic and cost-effective approach to provide patient-centered care for a defined population.” (Peek & National Integration Academy Council 2013, p. 2).
We welcome studies sampling diverse populations, particularly historically excluded or minoritized populations, and/or using participant-engaged research methods.
Mission
Families, Systems, & Health seeks to develop the knowledge base of a systemic approach to healthcare that integrates mind and body; individual and family; and communities, clinicians, and health systems while considering cost-effectiveness and distributive justice.
