From the Editor: November 2024
The November issue of the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice features a comprehensive focus on communicable diseases, with key articles exploring the evolving role of public health in managing both chronic and infectious diseases. The issue highlights the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists on public health through pieces by Justin B. Moore and Grace Wang et al. It delves into findings from the 2021 Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey and examines the critical role of health educators. Articles explore topics such as smoking intention among adolescents, rural-urban disparities in diabetes education, and the social determinants of health in community strategies. Notable studies cover public health responses to COVID-19, including a focus on Medicaid enrollees with intellectual disabilities, mask use trends, and school prevention strategies. The issue also presents research on hepatitis B, pediatric asthma, and gerrymandering’s effects on medical uninsurance. Other important discussions include public health collaborations, environmental health concerns, and community health improvement initiatives.
