"The AJMH is privileged to be amongst the stellar journals accepted into Medline," Demetrius Porche, DNS, APRN, Editor-in-Chief of AJMH, said. "AJMH acceptance into Medline extends men"s health researchers and scholars ability to disseminate and utilize the science of men"s health." The mission of AJMH is to provide a forum through which the multidisciplinary professional community disseminates the scholarly state of science regarding men"s health issues focusing on "health" to improve men"s health, improve men"s quality of life, and reduce disparities. An essential focal point is not merely on disease but the preservation and promotion of health.

"SAGE is very pleased to see the important work published in AJMH now included in this prestigious database," said Nancy Olsen, SAGE Executive Editor, STM Journals. "It is a testament to the quality of the work and dedication of Demetrius Porche and the entire editorial team." Kristen Wooley SAGE Publications
