FROM THE EDITOR

It is again a pleasure to present the Fall Issue of the APHA-IH Section Newsletter.

We hope you enjoy reading the materials contained in this issue and that in doing so you consider authoring or co-authoring future pieces for inclusion in the Spring Issue of the Newsletter. We do encourage you to write about your ideas and especially about your international and global health experiences, which will certainly enrich us all, both at the professional and personal levels.

The APHA-IH Section Newsletter is a great platform to present our experiences addressing and tackling international and global health issues, as well as to present innovative ideas to better the health and quality of life worldwide.

The IH Section Newsletter is published twice a year.  The deadline for the Spring Issue is April 15 and for the Fall Issue is Aug. 15. Submissions should be about 400 words, to be presented as Verdana, Font Size 10. You are invited and strongly encouraged to submit material for inclusion in the next issues of the Newsletter. Most submissions are included as presented, except for minor editing.

Opinions, views, and information published represent the authors and not necessarily APHA or the IH Section or the Editor.
