Perspectives in Public Health is a bimonthly peer-reviewed medical journal that covers the field of public health. It is practice oriented and is published on behalf of the Royal Society for Public Health by SAGE Publications.

## History

[edit]

The journal has been published under its current name since 2008, when the Royal Society for Public Health 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 Royal Society for Public Health, and consequently the journal was renamed. The full archive of the journal, dating back to 1879, is available to view online.
