Introduction

Mark McCarthy and Aileen Clarke

Guest Editors

We are grateful to the European Journal of Public Health in enabling us to present papers from the first phase of a 3-year project SPHERE (Strengthening Public Health Research in Europe). SPHERE was created in response to a Call for research from the European Commission's Sixth Framework Research Programme, in the Programme ‘Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area’. The consortium included 19 partners from 12 countries and was led organizationally from the UK Faculty of Public Health.

This Supplement includes 11 papers on European public health research literatures—eight original papers by SPHERE partners, two invited commentaries from European public health research experts and an overview by the editors. For the original papers, the authors have reviewed electronic databases, and hand-searched publications, from a range of perspectives to build a composite view of the literature. The initial reports of the work were read by the external experts to prepare their commentaries. Mark McCarthy is coordinator of SPHERE and Aileen Clarke leads the work of on public health literatures. The work was first presented in summary form at the Fourteenth European Public Health Research Conference in Montreux, Switzerland, in November 2006.1

We are grateful to peer referees for their valuable comments on the papers, and pleased to acknowledge funding from the European Commission Directorate for Research. Full reports of this work will be included in the Final Report of SPHERE to the Commission.
