Aims and scope
Archives of Public Health is a broad scope public health journal, dedicated to publishing all
sound science in the field of public health. The journal aims to better the understanding of the
health of populations. The journal contributes to public health knowledge, enhances the
interaction between research, policy and practice and stimulates public health monitoring and
indicator development. The journal considers submissions on health outcomes and their
determinants, with clear statements about the public health and policy implications. Archives of
Public Health welcomes methodological papers (e.g., on study design and bias), papers on health
services research, health economics, community interventions, and epidemiological studies
dealing with international comparisons, the determinants of inequality in health, and the
environmental, behavioural, social, demographic and occupational correlates of health and
diseases.
