Editorial Introduction

The July 2013 issue of China Health Review includes the CMB Open Competition Interview Series I, a perspective article by Professor Rui Wang, and a special interview with Dr. Helena Wang, the Asia Editor of the Lancet, in addition to our usual sections.

In the China Medical Board Open Competition (CMB-OC) Interview Series (I), we invited Ms. Linda Zhou, CMB grants Manager; Dr. Shufang Zhang, coordinator of the OC review process, and finalists (Drs. Xinglin Feng,  Weiyan Jian, Guoqing Hu, Li Zhao, and Ms. Qian Li) to share their experience and insight about the OC Program.

In the Perspective section, Professor Rui Wang discussed the long-term effects on people’s lifestyle and health caused by the rapid change of China’s urban built environment, and suggested researchers act promptly to develop robust evidence of the relationship between urban form and health behavior.

In the Special Interview, Dr. Helena Wang, the Asia Editor of the Lancet, reviewed the history and focus of the Lancet China themed issues, described the purpose and scope of the Lancet, and offered suggestions regarding research topic selection and scientific writing from an editor’s perspective.

Research Twitter provides summaries of ten recent publications, covering topics such as H7N9 infection, comparative epidemiology on H7N9 and H5N1, assessment of clinical severity of H7N9, health-education package to prevent worm Infections among Chinese schoolchildren, the association between government subsidy and injection use in primary health care institutions, public hospital reform, responsiveness of community health services in urban china, the impacts of health insurance on health care utilization among elderly, and effect of ambient air pollution on stroke mortality in China.
