Each month, Bulletin 2000 features specially commissioned research articles and opinion papers that tackle a selected problem from a diversity of approaches.
Invited experts debate the issues further in a related round table discussion.
Finally, presentation of a public health classic puts the issues in historical perspective and helps gauge the progress of thought and action.
