Overview
Global public health is the study, research, and practical effort aimed at improving health and achieving health equity for populations across the world. It addresses health problems that transcend national borders, emphasizing prevention, surveillance, and intervention at the level of communities and populations rather than individuals alone. The field spans infectious disease control, non-communicable disease prevention, environmental and water-related health, reproductive health, vaccination and immunization, and the social, cultural, and demographic factors that shape health outcomes, often with particular attention to low-resource settings. Research published in the International Journal of Global Health reflects this breadth, including work on municipal decision-making strategies to combat waterborne diseases, fecal shedding and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella Typhi among typhoid cases and asymptomatic carriers in Nairobi, the influence of knowledge and socio-demographics on COVID-19 risk exposure in Africa, predictors of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in north-central Nigeria, the application of cultural humility in an international intervention in the Kingdom of Bahrain, colorectal cancer in Africa and the role of dietary and lifestyle change, and theoretical frameworks for working with people living with HIV and AIDS. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to global public health.
