Formerly known as Belgian Archives of Social Medicine, Hygiene, Occupational
Health and Forensic Medicine, Archives
of Public Health is now publishing with BioMed
Central. Editors-in-Chief Professor Herman Van Oyen and Professor
Olivier Bruyère will continue to publish articles
that ‘compile public health knowledge for action’ as they had with their
previous publisher.

“We
expect authors to take the time to think and to highlight in their manuscript
the implications of the findings for public health policy, public health
practice and/or public health research” they say in their inaugural editorial for
the journal.

Archives of Public Health will be an important information source on applied research in all
aspects of public health and welcomes articles on health services research,
health economics, community interventions and epidemiological studies dealing
with international comparisons. The journal also focuses on determinants of
inequality in health, and the environmental, behavioral, social, demographic
and occupational correlates of health and disease.

Archives
of Public Health
is the official journal of the  Belgian Association of Public Health and is an exciting
addition to BioMed Central’s public health portfolio. To receive regular
