American Journal of Health Promotion (AJHP)
Journal Descriptions
The American Journal of Health Promotion (AJHP) is a peer‑reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing the science and practice of health promotion and disease prevention. Established in 1986, AJHP was the first peer‑reviewed journal exclusively focused on health promotion research and continues to play a central role in shaping the field. The journal publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, and evidence‑based practice reports that explore interventions, programs, policies, and outcomes related to lifestyle, environmental, cultural, societal, and institutional determinants of health and well‑being. Its multidisciplinary scope encompasses public health, behavioral medicine, health education, community and workplace health, chronic disease prevention, health equity, and the social determinants of health. AJHP serves as a forum for both researchers and practitioners to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and real‑world application, promoting improvements in health behaviors and systems at individual and population levels. The journal’s editorial content informs policy decisions and supports professional practice by disseminating insights on effective strategies for enhancing quality of life and reducing health disparities. With rigorous peer review and frequent publication (eight issues per year), the journal remains a respected resource for scholars, clinicians, and health promotion professionals worldwide.
