The Journal of Global Health

The Journal of Global Health The Journal of Global Health (JGH) is an international public health publication and media organization based at Columbia University. JGH's WiGH?

We are committed to featuring original student research in public health and spotlighting public health activism. With subscribers and authors representing 70+ institutions in 15+ countries spanning 5 continents, JGH provides a forum for students to spark productive exchange. Student public health activists and researchers worldwide have great potential to build a cohesive and dynamic community. p

odcast, GlobalThink Forum, and biannual print publication aim to give them the voice to do so. Moving forward, we see JGH becoming an indispensable medium that features the work of student researchers and activists from across the globe, each examining public health problems in his or her community. We hope to harness the untapped power of these students, build upon each other's contributions, and synergize solutions that are local in approach but redefine global in impact.

During our most recent City in Crisis: Housing Insecurity and Health Equity event, we explored the national Housing First approach — both an evidence-based model that prioritizes immediate, stable housing without preconditions, and a HUD assistance program designed to implement this model nationwide. Housing First respects the autonomy of unhoused individuals, reduces barriers to recovery, and has been proven to improve health outcomes and housing stability.

Today, both the Housing First model and the HUD programs that support it are under threat due to cuts proposed by the Trump administration. The effectiveness of Housing First has been documented in leading journals such as The Lancet, JAMA Psychiatry, and The American Journal of Public Health.

If you feel compelled, we urge you to learn more about Housing First — and to write to your legislators to defend this public assistance.

We had a great time at our City in Crisis: Housing Insecurity and Health Equity event this past week! 🏙️ Huge thanks to our Business and Outreach team for organizing and marketing the event. This team has been led all year by Lourdes Russell and Nic Lofaso, longtime JGH members and graduating seniors 🎓. Through their leadership, they’ve strengthened JGH’s connections to the broader community both within and beyond Columbia 🌍 and brought our undergraduate members closer to public health scholarship 📚. We’re excited to see what they do next and grateful for everything they’ve built here! ✨

Today marked the end of an era as we bid farewell to our incredible seniors at our last Journal of Global Health meeting for the academic year 🌎. Kaira Oraedu has led us as Editor-In-Chief for the past two years, guiding us through four semesterly publications and fostering a community we’re truly proud of. To Kaira and all our graduating seniors, you’ll be deeply missed. 🎓 We celebrated with a Malaysian Grill feast, honoring not just our seniors but every member who contributed to the journal’s success. 🌟 We’re grateful for each of you, and we know our seniors will continue to achieve greatness in all they do. 💫
