Perspectives in Public Health (PPH) is a bi-monthly, peer-reviewed, academic journal that publishes papers in the field of public health. It is practice orientated and is published on behalf of the Royal Society for Public Health by SAGE Publications.
Perspectives in Public Health has been published under this existing name since 2008, when the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) was formed. It was originally established in 1879 under the title The Journal of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health, on behalf of The Royal Society of Health, also known as the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health. This organisation merged with the Royal Institute of Public Health in 2008, forming the RSPH, and consequently the journal was renamed. The full archive of the journal, dating back to 1879, is available to view online.
PPH's primary aim is to be an invaluable resource for the Society's members, who are health-promoting professionals from many disciplines. Additionally PPH appeals to practitioners and policy makers, researchers and academics. The journal’s content reflects the broad range of areas member’s are interested in, including environmental health, health protection, health and safety, food safety and nutrition, building and engineering, primary care, academia and government.
Due to its practice orientated nature the journal features current topics and opinions; news and views on current health issues; case studies; book reviews; letters to the Editor; as well as updates on RSPH's work. The journal also commissions articles for themed issues and publishes original peer-reviewed articles.
The journal publishes four themed issues and two un-themed issues a year. Previous themes have included Health literacy, Obesity, Innovation and Food Safety. Themes are pre-decided by the Editorial Board, overseen by the journal’s honorary editor Heather Hartwell (Bournemouth University).
