Aims & Scope

Global Public Health is a peer-reviewed journal that energetically
engages with key public health issues that have come to the fore in the
global environment - mounting inequalities between rich and poor; the
globalization of trade; new patterns of travel and migration; epidemics
of newly-emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases; the HIV/AIDS
pandemic; the increase in chronic illnesses; escalating pressure on
public health infrastructures around the world; and the growing range
and scale of conflict situations, terrorist threats, environmental
pressures, natural and human-made disasters.

Directed and supported by a leading international board of experts, the
journal is broad-based and wide-ranging, including work that draws on
the environmental health sciences; epidemiology; health policy and
management; and the social sciences as applied to public health and
medicine. It is characterized, and distinguished from other journals
currently available in the field by its: 

*         global and multidisciplinary focus; 

*         emphasis on significant international health issues, including
their social and cultural dimensions as appropriate; 

*         concern to understand resource-poor and resource-rich
countries, and the public health challenges they face, as part of a
single, interacting, global system.
