Special Issue on AI in Public Health and Health Promotion Pedagogy
Pedagogy in Health Promotion has spearheaded exploration of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in pedagogy, with several articles on this topic already, and is seeking to expand thought leadership in this critical space.

In preparation for an upcoming special issue, we welcome manuscripts addressing the use of generative AI in teaching and learning in the fields of health promotion and public health. Manuscripts may include completed or soon-to-be completed original research, descriptive best practices and lessons learned, commentaries, and student perspectives. Given the newness of using AI in pedagogy, we welcome submissions that reflect exploratory work in this area.
