Congratulations on receiving the Population Health Metrics Handling Editor Award! We appreciate your commitment to reviewing for Population Health Metrics. Were you pleased to accept the award?
I am truly honoured to receive the Population Health Metrics Handling Editor Award. There is nothing more rewarding than having your colleagues recognize your contributions. This award motivates me to continue supporting high-quality research submitted to Population Health Metrics, especially in areas such as inequalities in population health, burden of disease and injury analysis, and health state measurement and valuation.
Please tell us about yourself and your research.
I am Periklis Charalampous, PhD, and my work sits at the interface of burden of disease and injury research and advocacy for health policy. I have led several projects on burden of disease and disability weights research methods, as well as their practical application. I have also quantified the health impacts associated with natural hazards, such as earthquakes and heatwaves – an area in which my time at the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) has played a pivotal role in my career.
Do you find it rewarding handling manuscripts for Population Health Metrics?
Absolutely. I find it rewarding to engage with impactful manuscripts submitted to Population Health Metrics while supporting the journal by identifying promotion-worthy studies and providing feedback to ensure they meet the highest standards.
Thank you again for your contributions to the journal. Where can people find out more about your research?
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me. People can find out more about my research on my university profile, through my published articles in peer-reviewed journals, and on platforms such as LinkedIn and ResearchGate.
