AJPM Focus, the APTR open access journal centering on high-quality prevention evidence across the global spectrum of health will serve as the fully open access companion journal to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine (AJPM), a long-established and highly ranked journal in the fields of public health and preventive medicine.

Jointly sponsored by the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research (APTR) and the American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM), AJPM Focus will continue the AJPM tradition of publishing high-quality research and scholarship across all aspects of public health and preventive medicine practice, teaching, and research. In addition to research papers, review articles, and editorials, AJPM Focus publishes policy analyses, quality improvement findings, program evaluations, and other types of articles. Recognizing that global prevention teaching, research, and practice must be grounded in a body of evidence that is inclusive of all scholarly methodologies and scientific perspectives, AJPM Focus also welcomes manuscripts reporting on studies utilizing diverse methodologies, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methodologies.
