The “Best of 2020 List” of Health Promotion Researchers

Each year, the editorial team of the American Journal of Health Promotion selects our “Best of the Year List” of health promotion studies from the prior year. This editorial features the Editor’s picks, the Editor in Chief’s favorites and other award categories for the research and writing published in 2020 in this journal. Our criteria for selection includes: whether the study addresses a topic of timely importance in health promotion, the research question is clearly stated and the methodologies used are well executed; whether the paper is often cited and downloaded; if the study findings offer a unique contribution to the literature; and if the paper is well-written and enjoyable to read. Awardees in 2020 offered new insights into confronting systemic racism, the impact of state health policies on eating behaviors, the role of leaders in influencing employee health practices and the role of physicians in influencing patient health practices. You will see how researchers are studying psychological and emotional resiliency in ever more specific populations.
