International Journal of School Health

Aims & Scope

International Journal of School Health (IJSH) is a peer-reviewed journal that considers any original contribution improving or shedding lights on health of school-aged children and adolescents.

Obviously, maintaining and promoting their health is one of the challenges of the policy makers and scientists.

Moreover, there are few journals in the Middle East focusing on the health of this age group, so IJSH publishes articles which mainly focus on all aspects of health of school aged children and adolescents including mental and physical health, environmental health, nutrition, etc.
