PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS

Public Health Reports (PHR) is the official journal of the U.S. Public Health Service. Since 1999, PHR has been published by the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH). PHR is a peer-reviewed journal bi-monthly--six issues offering articles in three main areas: public health practice, research, and viewpoints/commentaries. In the past five years we have tackled such topics as tobacco control, teenage violence, occupational disease and injury, immunization, drug policy, lead screening, health disparities, and many other key issues. The Journal's authors are on the front line of public health, and they present their work in a readable and accessible format. In addition to these articles, each edition offers recurring guest columns such as NCHS Dataline, Local Acts, International Observer, ASPH "From the Schools of Public Health", Law and the Public's Health and Public Health Chronicles. New in 2008 is "Surgeon General's Perspectives", which communicates important national public health issues. Published since 1878, PHR has been one of the public health community's key information resources in the field of public health. On behalf of the staff of ASPH and PHR, we appreciate your past support of PHR, and would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to continue your subscription to the Journal.
