Family health encompasses the physical, mental, and social well-being of all family members across the lifespan, from prenatal care through adolescence and adulthood. Research published in Public Health International on this topic addresses critical dimensions of family-centered health interventions and outcomes in diverse global settings. Studies examine maternal and child health service delivery, including barriers and facilitators faced by community health workers in Rwanda and factors affecting recovery among children with moderate acute malnutrition. The journal has published work on parent-adolescent communication regarding sexual and reproductive health in Ethiopia, as well as reproductive health knowledge and service utilization among rural adolescents in Rwanda. Mental health disparities affecting LGBTQ+ youth and strategies to promote their well-being represent another focus area. Additional research explores health behaviors within family contexts, including self-efficacy and smoking cessation among adults in Fiji, tobacco control programming in low- and middle-income countries, and cultural approaches to managing overweight and obesity. These investigations contribute evidence on how families access health services, communicate about sensitive health topics, and navigate health challenges across different cultural and economic contexts.
