Instructions to Authors
Conflict of Interest Policy: Authors are required to disclose commercial or similar relationships to products or companies mentioned in or related to the subject matter of the article being submitted. Sources of funding for the article should be acknowledged in a footnote on the title page. Affiliations of authors should include corporate appointments relating to or in connection with products or companies mentioned in the article, or otherwise bearing on the subject matter thereof. Other pertinent financial relationships, such as consultancies, stock ownership or other equity interests or patent-licensing arrangements, should be disclosed to the Editor-in-Chief in the cover letter at the time of submission. Such relationships may be disclosed in the Journal at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief in footnotes appearing on the title page. Questions about this policy should be directed to the Editor-in-Chief.
Manuscript Preparation: Manuscripts should be typed double spaced throughout on 8?x 11 inch white bond paper, with margins of at least one inch. Each manuscript should contain a title page, abstract and key words, running heads, text acknowledgments when appropriate, and references. Each page should be numbered consecutively in the upper right hand corner, beginning with the title page, and should not carry the first author's last name. Four copies of the manuscript are to be submitted. The following guidelines should be observed for the following types of articles:
Original articles: Should not exceed 20 pages with a maximum of 5 tables, 3 illustrations, and 40 references.
Review articles: May have a variety of formats but should at least have an introduction, discussion, and summary. They should be 20-25 pages with an unlimited number of references.
Case reports: Should not exceed 6 pages, and should include an introduction, concise case presentation, and discussion.
Letters to the Editor: Letters will be published at the discretion of the editors and are subject to editing. Letters should not exceed 2 pages, excluding a maximum of 4 references. Letters discussing a recent JAH article should be received within 4 weeks of the article's publication.
Adolescent health briefs: Articles in this format should require three journal pages or less, the text 1000 words or less with a brief unstructured abstract of 50 words or less. A power analysis should be included in the statistics when appropriate. A combined total of two illustrations and/or tables, and approximately 10 references will be accepted.
Manuscripts
Title Page: The title page should contain a concise but informative title, a short running head or footline of no more than 45 characters, including spaces, identified and placed at the bottom of the title page, first name, middle initial, and last name of each author with the highest academic degree(s) of each, name of the department(s) and institution(s) to which the work should be attributed, name, address, telephone number, and fax number of author to whom requests for reprints and correspondence should be addressed, and the source(s) of support such as grants, equipment, or drugs. Manuscripts are distributed to reviewers "blind," therefore, the title page should be the only page to identify the authors.
Abstract and Key Words: Page two of the manuscript should carry an abstract of not more than 250 words. The abstract should be provided in a structured table format with the following bolded headings: Purpose, Methods, Results and Conclusions. Emphasis should be placed on new and important aspects of the study or observations. Only approved abbreviations are acceptable. Three to 10 key words or short phrases should be identified and placed below the abstract. These key words will be used to assist indexers in cross-indexing the article and will be published with the abstract. For this, terms from the Medical Subject Headings list in the Index Medicus should be used whenever possible.
Text: The text of original observational and experimental articles and brief scientific reports should usually--but not necessarily--be divided into the following sections: introduction, methods, results, and discussion.
Introduction: Clearly state the purpose(s) of the article and summarize the rationale for the study of observation. Only pertinent references should be used.
Methods: The selection of observational or experimental subjects (patients or experimental animals, including controls) should be clearly described. The methods, apparatus, and procedures used should be described in enough detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results.References should be provided for established methods, including statistical methods. Methods that are not well known should be concisely described with appropriate references. Any new or substantially modified method(s) should be carefully described, reasons given for its use, and an evaluation made of its known or potential limitations. All drugs and chemicals used should be identified by generic name(s), dosage(s), and route(s) of administration. The numbers of observations and the statistical significance of findings should be included when appropriate. Patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers should not be used.
Institutional Review Board Requirements: When reporting experiments utilizing human subjects, it must be stated, in writing, in the paper, that the protocol has been approved by the institution's Committee on Human Subjects or its equivalent. When reporting experiments on animal subjects, it must be stated that the protocol has been approved by the institution's animal care and use committee.
Authors must immediately disclose to JAH in writing the existence of any investigation or claim related to the manuscript with respect to the use of human or animal subjects that may be initiated by an institutional, regulatory, or official body at any time, including investigations or claims arising subsequent to manuscript submission, approval, and publication.
Results: Results should be presented in a logical sequence in the text, table(s), and illustration(s). Only critical data from the table(s) and/or illustrations(s) should be repeated in the text.
Discussion: Emphasis should be placed on the new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions that can be drawn. Detailed data from the results section should not be repeated in the discussion. The discussion should include the implications and limitations of the findings and should relate the observations to other relevant studies. The link between the conclusion(s) and the goal(s) of the study should be carefully stated, avoiding unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by the data. The author(s) should avoid claiming priority and alluding to work that has not yet been completed. New hypotheses, when stated, should be clearly identified as such. Recommendations, when appropriate, may be included.
Acknowledgments: Acknowledge only persons who have made a substantive contribution to the study. Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from each individual acknowledged by name.
References: References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. References in the text, tables, and legends should be identified by Arabic numerals in square brackets. References cited only in tables or legends to figures should be numbered in accordance with their first identification in the text of a particular table or illustration.
The style and punctuation of the references should follow the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (prepared by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, and published in Ann Intern Med 1982: 96:766-71; reprints available upon request), as shown in the following examples:

An effort should be made to avoid using abstracts as references. Unpublished observations and personal communications are not acceptable as references, although references to written, not verbal, communications may be inserted into the text in parentheses. References to manuscripts accepted but not yet published should designate the journal followed by (in press). Information from manuscripts submitted but not yet accepted for publication may be cited in the text as (unpublished observations). All references must be verified by the authors against the original documents.
Tables: Each table should be typed on a separate sheet. Tables should not be submitted as photographs. Tables should appear consecutively, in order of citation in the text, indicated by Arabic numerals. Eachtable should be given a brief title; explanatory matter should be placed in a table footnote.

Statistical measures should be identified as measures of variation such as S.D. or S.E.M. If data from another published or unpublished source are used, permission must be obtained and the source fully acknowledged.
Illustrations: Figures should be professionally drawn or photographed. Two sets of sharp, glossy, black-and-white unmounted photographic prints, 5 x 7 inches, are required. Letters, and symbols should be clear and even throughout and of sufficient size that when figures are reduced for publication (to approximately 3 inches wide), each item will still be legible. Each illustration must have a legend typed on a separate page and should be numbered consecutively, in order of citation in text, with Arabic numerals. When symbols, arrows, numbers, or letters are used to identify parts of the illustrations, each should be identified and clearly explained in the legend. On the back of each illustration indicate lightly in pencil, or using a gummed label, the number of the figure, the name(s) of the author(s) and the top of the figure.
Illustrations that are to appear in color should have the color negative and positive transparencies submitted as well as two positive color prints to assist the editors in making recommendations. The cost of color illustrations must be borne by the author(s).
