-----------------------------------------
The International Journal of Public Health

After more than 50 years as a leading research journal, the Bulletin of 
the World Health Organization has been expanded and refocused to take 
on an important new role. As from January 1999, in addition to its tra-
ditional coverage of biomedical and scientific research, the Bulletin 
includes contributions on social and behavioural sciences, economics, 
health policy, ethics - indeed, as its subtitle suggests, anything di-
rectly relevant to public health and of international significance.

Under the overall guidance of Dr Richard Feachem as Editor-in-Chief, 
supported by a prestigious external Editorial Board, the new Bulletin 
will appear monthly. Articles will be in English, with summaries in 
French and Spanish. In addition, there will be twice-yearly digests in 
French, Spanish and Chinese, allowing the most important papers to 
reach a truly global audience.

The Bulletin welcomes contributions of the following types:

- research papers on topics of international public health signifi-
  cance;

- scholarly essays providing critical reflection on any aspect of
  health development;

- review articles providing state-of-the-art overviews of public health
  issues;

- reports outlining experiences with public health policies and pro-
  grammes, whether successful or not; and

- letters from readers.
