All manuscripts should be submitted as a Microsoft Word document (files with ".doc" endings.) They should be double-spaced, with portrait orientation, prepared with 1-inch margins, and in 12 pt. Times New Roman font. Recommended word length is 6,000 words (excluding title page and references.)

Any submission will be considered if it is written in a logical sequence, however the editors recommend the following format.

• Background-understanding of the problem and context in which the program was conducted
• Methods-description of the initiative and the steps the project team took to accomplish the work
• Evaluation-examination of how well the program did or did not accomplish its objectives
• Lessons Learned-discussion of how this experience may be useful in informing other public health communication and marketing initiatives
• References-works cited, tables, and figures should be presented in the American Medical Association style

Tables, charts, figures, and graphs must be in black and white and printed at 1200 dpi or better. Power Point, Excel, and Word are encouraged. Tables, etc., should be placed at the end of the manuscript, with placement notations throughout the text (e.g., "Insert Figure 1 here"). Please submit images exactly as you wish to see them when published.

Photos should be scanned in the size they will appear in the journal, or larger and at a resolution of 300 dpi minimum.
