A focused issue journal is an opportunity to share outcomes of your work with stakeholders, legislators, and other groups you wish to reach. Your group will co-edit the journal issue with the help of the TPHA editorial team and the result will be a professionally typeset issue that will prominently feature YOUR program’s work. Printed copies can be provided for an additional cost.   Contact tphajournal@gmail.com Attn: Editor Focused Issue Inquiry.
