About this Book

Welcome to our Editor’s Pick collection for Frontiers in Public Health,

showcasing a curated selection of the most impactful and innovative articles

in the field. These articles were specially hand-picked by our Field Chief

Editor, Professor Paolo Vineis, of Imperial College London.

This compilation highlights the breadth and depth of contemporary public

health research, featuring studies that address pressing global health

challenges and propose practical solutions. We have categorized the

selected articles into 8 categories for ease of readership: Aging and Chronic

Diseases; Child and Maternal Health; Environmental Health and Climate

Change; Infectious Diseases; Implementation Science and Experimental

Studies; Health Inequalities and Social Determinants of Health; Mental Health

and Emerging Public Health Issues. Each chosen article not only advances

scientific understanding but also underscores the importance of

evidence-based practices and policies in improving population health. We

are proud to present this diverse array of research that not only reflects

the current state of the field but also aims to inspire further inquiry and

innovation.

2022 and 2023 were landmark years for the journal, which saw tremendous

growth and interest in open access. Our goal is to spotlight the exceptional

work of our authors, foster readership and innovation through our

open-access principles, and extend our gratitude to our Editorial Board for

their persistent dedication and teamwork.
