About This Image
For our first year, Preventing Chronic Disease will use original
works suggestive of folk art for our covers, as a reminder of whom we serve through our research and programs. Fundamentally, public health is about
people; their health, their communities, their cultures, and the privileges
and disadvantages that affect their well-being.
The image for our inaugural issue emphasizes the individual's connection
to a larger cultural heritage. The African American woman holds a striking
pose suggesting multiple interpretations — celebration, power, fluidness
— within a specific ethnic tradition. The light shining behind her body
and the rich red background color illustrate strength and courage in facing
life's challenges.
