Abstract

Welcome, Readers, to the ninth issue of the Healthy Populations Journal (HPJ). This special issue and its theme “Improving the Health Outcomes of Persons of African Descent” was inspired by the inaugural international Black Health Conference held in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2022. HPJ is a student-run, open-access, peer-reviewed journal housed at the Healthy Populations Institute (HPI) at Dalhousie University. Our focus is to highlight student-led population health and health equity research and support new authors in the academic publishing process. This guest editorial board represents perspectives from diverse emerging scholars from the community. We are excited to present our community’s voices in this issue.
