[2] Modern Medicine, a Chicago-based monthly magazine with stories on medical and health progress for physicians and others interested in administrative, industrial and social health problems, debuted in May 1919.
In 1927, it merged with the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH); for more than 40 years, "The Nation’s Health" appeared on the title page of the scientific journal as part of its official name.
In October 1970, it broke away from the AJPH and assumed its role as the official newspaper of APHA.
Access is by subscription or APHA membership, but some news features are available free.
Material in "Healthy You" draws from the most current science-based research as well as sources in the public and private sectors.
