Public health aspects of mental health: The last 75 years of the American Journal of Public Health

C.L. Williams and J. Westermeyer

American Journal of Public Health, 1985, vol. 75, issue 7, 722-725

Abstract: The American Journal of Public Health has reflected the relationship of public health to the field of mental health over its 75-year history. The earliest volumes of the Journal addressed movements and concerns within public mental health. Quantitative analysis of mental health articles shows wide fluctuations over the last 75 years, probably due to variations in federal funding for mental health research. Topical emphases in the Journal have included social issues and improved mental health, the contributions of epidemiological studies, and technological advances in prevention and treatment.
