American Health was an American magazine devoted to health, and has been called "one of the fastest-growing magazines of the 1980s".[1]
American Health received the General Excellence (400,000 to 1,000,000 circulation) Award from the American Society of Magazine Editors in 1985, and was a finalist in that category in 1984, as well as being a finalist for the Public Interest award in 1991.[2] The magazine won two American Psychological Association National Media Awards and a Sidney Hillman Foundation prize.[1]
Its editors have included Stephen Kiesling, T. George Harris and Joel Gurin.[2][3] According to an abstract, Madison Avenue magazine reported in 1986 that American Health had an "upbeat and informative" tone and boasted of a circulation of 85,000.[4] As of 1999, its trademark and circulation assets had been acquired by TimeWarner's Health magazine.[5]
