Public Health in Practice

Aims & Scope

Public Health in Practice is an international, peer-reviewed, gold open access journal in the field of population health.

The journal aims to publish international articles focused on the art of translating and implementing public health evidence into practice.

Research does not end once results are published.

That is just the beginning.

Translating research findings or policy to a local context and implementing findings is how we learn about what works and what doesn't.

This learning refines our thinking and working practices and will lead to even better research questions, practice and ultimately public health.

The journal will publish robust and ethically sound articles of any study type whereby the focus is consistent with our aim.

This includes but is not limited to: Public health practice and impact Evaluation of public health policy, programmes or interventions Implementation of programmes or interventions to improve health and/or reduce health inequalities Community engagement to address public health issues Need or Impact Assessment with a practical/implementation focus Improvement of health, social care services/support and wider determinant services such as education, welfare, employment services to improve public health Knowledge translation Applied epidemiology Health protection including control of communicable diseases Prevention of ill health Action across the wider determinants to improve health and/or reduce health inequalities.

The target market of the journal is researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who are engaged in in translating public health evidence into practice.
