Publications

Since its inception, the Milbank Memorial Fund has worked with outstanding researchers of health services and systems and public/population health policy to produce findings that are timely, relevant, and accessible. The Fund has published The Milbank Quarterly, a peer-reviewed journal of population health and health policy since 1923. It has commissioned and published reports since early in the last century and, beginning in the early 1990s, a series called Milbank Reports. Moreover, the Fund has assisted in planning, financing, and publishing books since the 1920s. Since 1999 it has co-published with the University of California Press a series, now comprising twenty-three books, titled California/Milbank Books on Health and the Public.

  • CALIFORNIA/MILBANK BOOKS ON HEALTH AND THE PUBLIC

    The Milbank Memorial Fund and the University of California Press jointly sponsor the California/Milbank Books on Health and the Public. The books in this series place in historical and contemporary context significant policy issues in health care and public/population health.  The audience for these books includes researchers and advanced students in public health and health policy as well as decision makers.  The most recent books in the series examine collaboration in making and implementing policy to improve health in low-income countries; the experience of William Foege, a leader in global health; the legislative process leading to the passage of the Affordable Care Act; and the politics of policymaking for research and regulation of pharmaceutical drugs during the past half century.

These reports are evaluated in draft by decision makers and practitioners in health care and public health as well as by researchers. Reports have frequently emerged from conversations and meetings with decision makers.
