About P.H.

PH: The Yale Journal of Public Health was founded in the Fall of 2003 by a group of undergraduates at Yale University. The founders and first editors-in-chief were Matthew Wilson and David Steinberg. Since then we have covered the gamut of health issues from needle exchange to smoking to health care. PH is devoted to intelligent commentary and journalism on the health of the world's population. By placing a premium on the quality of writing, PH hopes to be a new kind of forum for young people interested in human health. Wherever you are, if you care about the health problems around us, and you believe in the power of clear language, add your voice.


Sincerely,

P.H. Staff
