Read the new Public Health Reports supplemental issue, Practice-Based Health Equity Research From the Frontlines, organized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Office of Health Equity. This special issue provides accessible, useful information from the front lines of public health to inform health equity practice.

Four article categories representing distinct practice-based research types are showcased:

1. Research addressing questions, problems, and uncertainties identified by public health data and practitioners and emerging in real-world practice
2. Research investigating the implementation and effect of public health strategies in representative communities and practice settings under usual rather than highly controlled conditions
3. Research studying the feasibility, effectiveness, and impact of untested public health innovations developed by practitioners
4. Studies using data generated by public health practitioners to produce practice-relevant knowledge.
