The mission of IAPHS is to improve the health of populations by advancing and communicating population health science. The IAPHS achieves its mission by:
- Supporting conferences, workshops, and resources that create a shared professional space for scientists from different disciplinary backgrounds, fostering communication and collaboration to strengthen research addressing complex population hea
lth problems involving multiple systems, and supporting the professional development of early-career population health scientists;
- Providing opportunities for scientists to connect with stakeholders, decision-makers and practitioners to encourage knowledge exchange that can improve both research and evidence-based strategies for population health improvement; and
- Increasing the visibility of population health science by communicating advances in scientific knowledge to multiple audiences and promoting the importance of population health research.
