Journal of global health

The Journal of Global Health (JGH) is a biannual, international publication based at Columbia University in the City of New York. Launched in January 2011, JGH is Columbia University's newest publication and its first entirely student-run public health publication. JGH spotlights student global health activism and features original student research in public health that addresses behavioral, biological, environmental, political, and socioeconomic factors that affect the health of populations of individuals. JGH has one of the widest audiences of Columbia's student publications, with authors and subscribers representing over 40 institutions in 10 countries spanning 5 continents. JGH publishes a print issue two times a year (May and December). JGH's faculty advisory board is entirely based at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. The editor-in-chief is Kevin Xu. JGH is also affiliated with the Columbia University chapters of the Student Global AIDS Campaign and Universities Allied for Essential Medicines.
JGH Online
JGH Online is The Journal of Global Health's web publication, consisting of the GlobalThink Forum (GTF) and the Columnists Project. Modeled after The New York Times' Room for Debate, the GlobalThink Forum (GTF) calls on undergraduates to make short essay arguments in response to provocative global health questions. WIth writers and submissions representing over 25 institutions spanning 5 countries, GTF seeks to spark productive exchange on controversial topics in global health. The JGH Columnists Project calls on undergraduates and graduate student researchers and activists to respond quickly to time-sensitive issues by writing monthly columns that are published online. Select columns and GTF essays are published on JGH Online.
Note
The journal is not to be confused with "Journal of Global Health" published by Edinburgh University Global Health Society (which is available online at www.jogh.org). This UK-based journal was also launched independently in 2011 at the occasion of 19th World Congress of Epidemiology (http://www.epidemiology2011.com/), organised by International Epidemiological Association (http://www.ieaweb.org/). The launch was recorded in the official Programme of the meeting (http://www.epidemiology2011.com/programme.html).
