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.
The supplements are special publications on a specific topic related to public health. The supplements began in 1913 and are still published today. Here is a list of the first 213 supplements by number, title, and year published. The Herman B Wells Library has most of these supplements, which can be found in IUCAT, but if a title is not available through IUCAT a simple title search in WorldCat will show where the supplement is available.
