About the Journal
Health Promotion International is a peer reviewed journal that contains refereed original articles, perspectives, opinion pieces, policy pieces, and editorials relating to contemporary themes and innovations in the health promotion field. We seek papers related to the social, environmental, commercial and political determinants of health. Studies focusing on planetary health (and the climate crisis), health literacy, youth, First Nations Health, harmful industries, public messaging/social marketing, the infodemic (health misinformation/disinformation), health policy, and health advocacy are particularly encouraged.
Contributors who are new to the journal may like to read the following editorial from Professor Samantha Thomas (Editor in Chief) and Emeritus Professor Mike Daube (Chair of the Editorial Board).
