Scholars and policy-makers frequently use the term 'global health agenda' or some variant, usually because they are expressing a concern that an issue is neglected. Rarely do they define what they mean by the concept, making it unclear what they are referring to. We offer a working definition: 'the list of health issues that a set of elite organizations involved in global health are paying attention to at any given point in time.' We then offer some recommendations on how the agenda status of any given health issue might be measured. The aim of offering definitional clarity and a means of indicating agenda status is to advance the study of agenda-setting in global health, so that we might move beyond impressionistic statements and toward empirical measures of what is and is not on the global health agenda. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
