CALL FOR PAPERS - METHODS
The Annals of Family Medicine seeks manuscripts that advance research methods specific to family medicine and primary care. Manuscripts could consider the multilevel (patient, provider, team, organization, community, policy) influences on healthcare. Methods could include qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods research, pragmatic trials, or novel study designs to accommodate multi-level interventions and corresponding analytic approaches. There is no deadline to submit.
We are particularly interested in manuscripts investigating what is new and innovative in family medicine research, or cutting-edge applications of research methods in family medicine/primary care explained in an accessible way. We are not looking for introductory biostatistics papers.
Of great interest is the COVID pandemic, which created many research challenges. Researchers innovated ways to conduct their studies in a difficult and constantly changing environment. How did researchers adapt? How have researchers used remote strategies in a novel way to collect data during COVID?

CALL FOR PAPERS - REPRODUCTIVE AND SEXUAL HEALTH CARE
To adapt to evolving realities in providing sexual and reproductive health care, the Annals of Family Medicine is issuing a call for original research manuscripts on these topics. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods manuscripts are welcome. Findings should directly help primary care clinicians better care for the patients they see. We will also consider a limited number of reflective essays, as well as manuscripts examining theory and conceptual models. We are particularly interested in manuscripts related to practice innovation and equity access. There is no deadline to submit.
Manuscripts with the potential to change how clinicians practice medicine are particularly welcome. Topics should relate to care of patients in the primary care setting. Specific topics may include—but are not limited to—abortion, transgender sexual and reproductive health, the impact of the COVID pandemic and telemedicine, counseling, policy, and advances or innovations in clinical practice around sexual and reproductive health. Manuscripts should specifically state how findings might apply to or change practice.
