The International Journal of Ethnic College Health (IJECH) is a
peer-reviewed, international, scientific, electronic periodical
designed to progress comprehensive disease prevention, health
promotion and risk reduction among diverse ethnic
college/university-attending, emerging adult populations.
Serving as a platform for health researchers and community stakeholders at Minority-Serving Institutions (including

factors under which these institutions and their student populations exist.   

Further, IJECH champions public health ethics principles among professionals and community stakeholders assisting
student populations.
