--> The last issue of the Californian Journal of Health Promotion (CJHP) in 2009 will be devoted to research and health programs that focus on obesity prevention and intervention, particularly among children and population with low socioeconomic status. Authors from everywhere are invited to submit manuscripts, or other types of materials such as multimedia presentations related to this theme are welcome. Of particular interest for this issue are manuscripts on topics including, but limited to: 1) relationship between health behaviors and risks for overweight and obesity, 2) psychosocial, environmental, economic, and health care factor related to obesity, 3) community- and school-based obesity prevention and intervention programs and program evaluations. In addition, the CJHP is interested in manuscripts that highlight the unique needs and/or approaches in prevention and intervention among ethnic/racial populations, such as African Americans, American Indians/Alaskan Natives, Asian Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Native Hawaians/Pacific Islanders. Researchers and health educators are encouraged to submit manuscripts related to education on healthy diet, promotion of physical activity, and intervention programs. Community organizations are encouraged to submit manuscripts about their programs serving the community for promotion of healthy lifestyles (including healthy dietary behavior and active life). A case study of your health education or prevention program for your community needs to be heard! State and county health departments are also encouraged to submit manuscripts discussing the health status and health education programs in their county. It is important to include your county and state in this special issue of CJHP in 2009. Please contact the editor with any questions regarding the suitability of your submission. For author guidelines, please see our submission site at: http://cajhp.msubmit.net
Changing of the Guard After editing the Californian Journal of Health Promotion since its inception in 2002, Founding Editor Dr. Mark Tomita of California State University, Chico, is now pursuing new goals, including writing a new edition of his computer applications in public health textbook and further developing the concept of “Health Voice.” Mark’s dedicated efforts over the past five years have led to the completion of 20 issues and 4 special issues, all of which are available free of charge to viewers. In addition to the traditional scholarly article, videos and slideshows illustrating research activities have also been featured in the journal. The new editor is Dr. Jie Weiss at California State University, Fullerton. The Journal will continue to publish peer-reviewed scholarly papers with a relatively quick turnaround time, and also to provide a forum for novel professional work that takes advantage of the Internet and multimedia technology. Thanks to online publication, papers published here will be immediately available to readers everywhere at no charge. The Editorial Board has been expanded to include three Associate Editors and 16 Sub-Section Editors. With this structure, we anticipate that all submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by expertswith specialized knowledge. We invite original works in the domains of health promotion or practice from authors anywhere in the world. Papers describing theory or practice are welcome.
