Supplement to JACM 40.2
The Journal of Ambulatory Care Management is pleased to announce a special supplement on the Brazilian National Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care (PMAQ).
The Brazilian National Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care (PMAQ) is one of the world's largest initiatives intended to stimulate access to and quality of primary care services, encompassing over 30,000 health teams in nearly every Brazilian municipality. Currently in its third year, the program has multiple components including an innovative pay for performance mechanism. The program is growing rapidly and evolving new forms of performance assessment; financial and non-financial incentives; and partnerships between municipalities, states, and the federal government. More information and data (including results of the first and second rounds of evaluation) can be found here: http://dab.saude.gov.br/portaldab/ape_pmaq.php
The Journal would like to thank James Macinko (UCLA), Matthew Harris (Imperial College, London) and Marcia Rocha (IDB, Brazil) who served as the Guest Editors of this project.
This Supplement was made possible by the Inter-American Development Bank and is endorsed by:

Special Introduction From Guest Editors, Noelle Wiggins, EdD, MSPH,
and E. Lee Rosenthal, PhD, MS, MPH
This is the second time that the Journal of Ambulatory Care Management has dedicated a set of special issues to literature about, for -- and often by -- Community Health Workers (CHW). JACM has a history of providing space for dialogue about issues of primary health care and social justice. The CHW world is lucky to have found a niche within JACM and to have the support of its forward thinking Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Norbert Goldfield. The special issues provide an opportunity for members of the CHW field to reflect upon our work to strengthen CHW policy and practice "from the inside out."
An important aspect of this opportunity has been the latitude provided by Dr. Goldfield to include pieces not often found in academic journals, such as the "CHW Voices from the Field" in both the previous and the current set of issues. In addition, the issues provide an opportunity for CHWs and allies to become more connected as a community of practice. This stands in contrast to many other peer review venues where we seek to illustrate CHW efficacy and their return on investment -- also important but not so critical for those of us who already feel confident in the truth of both.
Ultimately, the special issues will include more than 12 research articles and commentaries and 7 CHW "Voices from the Field." The issues explore CHWs' role in advocating for their profession and their communities, as well as contributions of CHWs to reforming the US health care system and increasing access to healthy food and nutrition.
