Public Health Reports is the official journal of the U.S. Public Health Service. It began in 1878 and continues to be published bi-monthly. The journal is peer-reviewed and provides scientific research and discusses the major issues facing the public health community. To find out more about the journal go to either the Public Health Reports website or the Association of Schools of Public Health website.
