Sharing the Evidence - Journal Publications

Sharing Immpact evidence is a substantial task after four years of extensive evaluation research. This list provides Immpact's publications for the period of 2002 to 2010 (current to February 2010). We invite you to check back regularly for updates. Also check 'Latest Publications' on our homepage for new releases. Publications are listed by author, alphabetically, by year of publication.

** NEW ** 10 Best Readers in Skilled Attendance at Delivery [PDF] - a list developed by Immpact in response to an October 2008 request for the 10 key publications in the field of maternal health.

Did you know? The top ranking journal for Immpact publications is the Lancet. Immpact has published research in many top peer-reviewed Journals in the areas of Medicine/Tropical Medicine, Public Health, International Health, Economics, Policy, and Social Sciences/Anthropology (Scientific Publications).
