Brief History The journal was established in 1979 by Neal Nathanson and Philip E. Sartwell. During the initial period, primarily headed by Nathanson, the journal established its credibility by soliciting pieces from well-respected epidemiologists and researchers that had also or were in the process of contributing to the American Journal of Epidemiology. The topics broke down equally under "three general topics: infectious diseases, other conditions, and general topics related to both," according to Sartwell in his introduction of the journal in its first volume.

In 1985, Moyses Szklo took over as editor-in-chief. After Szklo, the journal was led by Haroutune K. Armenian, the longest serving editor-in-chief to date. Armenian regularly obtained advice from Leon Gordis and Jon Samet. In 1999, the journal separated from being a single 200+ page annual issue into two 100-page bi-annual issues, with the first one focusing on themes popular to public health and the second one focused on methodology. The following year, the journal switched publishers from the Johns Hopkins University Press to the Oxford University Press.

Though Armenian began working with Michel A. Ibrahim as co-editor-in-chief starting in 2003, Ibrahim's leadership did not fully commence until 2005 after Armenian had officially retired from his position.
