Public Health: General Guide

This guide was created with your program and course in mind.

Public Health includes Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS), Health Services Administration and Policy (HSAP) and Epidemiology and Biostatistics (EPBI).

There are many resources available to you here at Temple and on the web. This guide has gathered some that I hope will be useful to you for your assignments, research and even personal interests related to health. 

The various tabs and links take you to sources in the labeled category. 

• Want some help learning how to use one of our resources? See if we are offering a workshop. There are many offered throughout the semester and offered via zoom.

My contact information is here as well.

These are some of the journals that publish public health topics. They are peer reviewed and may use either APA or AMA style. 

When you search for articles in a database such as PubMed, you may find one of these. Be aware that this is not a comprehensive list of all journals that publish on public health topics. Due to the wide interdisciplinary nature of public health there are many more. 

To find a specific journal title, search the library holdings through the Journals tab
