About the Journal
Pathways is an undergraduate organization at Stanford University dedicated to innovations in the field of public health. Pathways is divided into three committees: Pathways Education, Pathways Communication, and Pathways Research.
Pathways Education provides mentorship for high school students to engage in public health advocacy, including starting public health clubs at their local schools and leading public health initiatives within their local communities. Pathways Communication raises awareness to local health organizations in the Bay Area, by contributing regular news stories, spotlight stories, blog posts, and more, within the organizations' pages as well as in local newspapers. Current collaborators include the Ronald McDonald House and Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health. Pathways Research oversees our research journal.
Pathways: Stanford Journal of Public Health is our bi-annual research publication dedicated to connecting different players in the public health community — inviting undergraduate students, graduate scholars, and distinguished experts — to discuss central conversations revolving around public health. Our issues feature a multi-faceted approach to public health issues and is divided into the following sections:
• Research: The Health section showcases cutting-edge research on current health issues and outcomes. The Governance section spotlights potential tools for policy-based public health approaches and improvement.
• Reflections: A space for personal narratives and experiences related to public health journeys and stories.
• Conversations: Interviews and features with public health leaders about their personal experiences and professional accomplishments.
At Pathways: Stanford Journal of Public Health, we seek to provide those at Stanford and at other peer universities to introduce new scientific research and engage in health discussions. The journal offers interested individuals the opportunity for tangible contributions to the public health sector and raises awareness of relevant critical issues in public health.
