About Health Behavior and Policy Review
Health Behav Policy Rev a rigorously peer-reviewed scholarly publication that seeks manuscripts on health behavior or policy topics that represent original research, including papers that examine the development, advocacy, implementation, or evaluation of policies around specific health issues. Its scope is international with particular interest in reporting on priority health topics identified by the World Health Organization and priority objectives identified in the US publication Healthy People 2030.
History of the Journal
First published in 2014 under the leadership of Elbert D. Glover, PhD, FAAHB, FASHA, Health Behavior and Policy Review serves as a forum for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Aside from serving as an important forum for public health information and communication, it is our goal to be an effective educational and dissemination tool for researchers and other scholars, practitioners, other public health leaders, and students of health behavior and policy. Health Behavior and Policy Review is a bimonthly publication.

We especially welcome papers that tie together health behavior and policy recommendations.
