Smart: Journal of Public Health (SPubHealth) is a premier, rigorously peer-reviewed academic forum dedicated to the dissemination of high-impact, translational research and evidence-based interventions across the multifaceted domain of population health. Published triannually in March, July, and November, the journal serves as a vital interdisciplinary nexus for epidemiologists, health policy architects, clinical researchers, and community health practitioners striving to address pressing contemporary challenges, ranging from systemic health inequities and infectious disease mitigation to chronic disease management and the social determinants of health. By fostering a robust exchange of quantitative and qualitative empirical studies, comprehensive methodological reviews, and innovative health policy analyses, SPubHealth is deeply committed to bridging the translational gap between rigorous academic inquiry and actionable public health practice, ultimately aiming to optimize health outcomes, enhance care delivery frameworks, and shape forward-looking, resilient public health infrastructures on both a domestic and global scale.
