The Pan American Journal of Public Health (PAJPH) is the flagship technical and scientific periodical of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau, which is the Secretariat of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), headquartered in Washington, D.C., United States of America. Established in 1922 as Boletín Panamericano de Sanidad, it subsequently became known as Boletín de la Oficina Sanitaria Panamericana until 1997, when it merged with its English-language counterpart, the Bulletin of the Pan American Health Organization (established in 1966), to form the multilingual publication that exists today. The RPSP/PAJPH is a peer-reviewed, open access journal, and effective 2009, is published in an electronic-only format. Full texts of all manuscripts may be accessed through this web site and other international and regional scientific databases including PubMed Central, PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO Public Health, Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ and LILACS.
