Three main types of articles are published: original research articles that provide a significant contribution to knowledge in the breadth of dental public health, including oral epidemiology, dental health services, the behavioral sciences, and the public health practice areas of assessment, policy development, and assurance; methods articles that report the development and testing of new approaches to research design, data collection and analysis, or the delivery of public health services; and review articles that synthesize previous research in the discipline and provide guidance to others conducting research as well as to policy makers, managers, and other dental public health practitioners.

The Journal of Public Health Management and Practice provides practical information applicable to the design and implementation of public health programs. It is peer-reviewed and written by leading public health researchers and practitioners from local, state, and federal public health agencies. With the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice, you'll explore the everyday challenges of public health and you'll get hands-on, step-by-step solutions public health professionals across the country are using. Topics include: Immunizations, Bioterrorism Preparedness, Mass Media Smoking Prevention Strategies, Public Health Performance Standards, and Public Health Finance.JPHMP is offered to members of the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) at a reduced rate.

The Journal of Public Health Policy (JPHP) will continue its 25 year tradition: an accessible source of scholarly articles on the epidemiologic and social foundations of public health policy, rigorously edited, and progressive.JPHP aims to create a more inclusive public health policy dialogue, within nations and among them. It broadens public health policy debates beyond the 'health system' to examine all forces and environments that impinge on the health of populations. It provides an exciting platform for airing controversy and framing policy debates - honing policies to solve new problems and unresolved old ones.JPHP welcomes unsolicited original scientific and policy contributions on all public health topics. New authors are particularly encouraged to enter debates about how to improve the health of populations and reduce health disparities.

Journal of Public Mental Health (JPMH) focuses on the research, policy and practice that put mental well-being at the heart of the public health agenda.
