Californian Journal of Health Promotion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Introduction
The Californian Journal of Health Promotion (CJHP) is a leading scholarly, peer-reviewed, journal focusing on health education and health promotion practice, teaching, research, and issues of interest to professionals in California and the surrounding Western USA states. The CJHP differs from other health education and promotion journals in that it focuses on information that has more local, rather than national or international relevance and interest, and it publishes multimedia presentations (e.g., audio, video, PowerPoint) along with traditional scholarly manuscripts.
The integration of multimedia into traditional scholarly manuscripts is one of the key differences between this academic journal and paper-based journals. Knowledge is viewed as three-dimensional, in sharp contrast to other journals whereby knowledge is expressed only as text.
The CJHP was established in 2003 by Dr. Mark Tomita, an expert on the integration of technology into public health. The goal of the journal is to disseminate scholarly information useful to health education and health promotion practitioners, academics, and students in California and the surrounding Western USA states. The mission of the journal is to maintain a local flavor to the journal content. The content areas published include:
1. Editorials
2. Professional Practice (School, Community, Clinical, Worksite, University Professional Preparation and Health Services)- articles discussing professional practice in a variety of settings or multimedia presentations that can be used in teaching or conducting health education and health promotion programs.
3. Theory and Research- research studies (both qualitative and quantitative), theory papers, and review articles. This section is not limited to topics in California. USA national and international papers are also desired.
4. The Health Educator Experience- these manuscripts are case studies of health educator, retired health educator, and health education student experiences in the field. Readers are encouraged to submit articles about their experiences. Of great interest are articles about what health educators may experience as they contemplate retirement, and what they may experience after retirement.
5. Professional Updates - news and columns from established health education and health promotion professional associations, announcements for health fairs, grants, calls for manuscripts/abstracts, professional conferences, and so on.
