The mission of the Pan American Journal of Public Health is to serve as an important vehicle for disseminating scientific public health information relevant to the Region of the Americas. The journal aims to strengthen national and local health systems and to bridge the gap between health care and policy-makers, ultimately improving the health of the peoples of the Americas.
International Health Days are commemorations that call the attention of the public on one public health issue; for most of them, in this section the reader will find a selection of published manuscripts with links to the full-text papers.
The Journal published a thematic issue about Nutrition in the Americas, including 5 papers.
- Using evidence-informed policies to tackle overweight and obesity in Chile
- Identifying patterns of unhealthy diet and physical activity in four countries of the Americas: a latent class analysis
- Integrating economics into the rationale for multisectoral action on obesity
- Development of an investment case for obesity prevention and control: perspectives on methodological advancement and evidence
- Trilateral Initiative against Childhood Obesity
