Public Health Reports ( PHR ) has been published since 1878 and 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 published on a bi-monthly basis. The six regular issues produced annually offer articles in three main areas: public health practice, research, and viewpoints/commentaries. Each issue offers recurring guest columns such as Local Acts, Global Health Matters, ASPH "From the Schools of Public Health", Law and the Public's Health, Public Health Chronicles, NCHS Dataline, and the Surgeon General's Perspectives.

We have focused upon such topics as tobacco control, teenage violence, occupational disease and injury, immunization, drug policy, lead screening, health disparities, and many other key and emerging public health issues. In addition to the six regular issues, PHR produces supplemental issues approximately 2-5 times per year which focus on specific topics that are of particular interest to our readership. The Journal's contributors are on the front line of public health and they present their work in a readable and accessible format.

On behalf of the staff of PHR and ASPH , we appreciate your ongoing support of PHR , and would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to submit your work for consideration and continue your subscription to the Journal.
