The Journal of Muslim Mental Health intends to identify the mental health care needs of Muslims. Establishing a peer reviewed and refereed academic journal will
encourage research in this field and provide a forum for the development of culturally
sensitive psychometric scales, faith-based psychotherapy techniques, and outcome studies on mental health interventions in Muslim populations.

As community service projects are developed, the void in the Muslim mental health literature becomes more glaring. The Journal of Muslim Mental Health will be a forum for filling this vacuum by making relevant research data, typically overlooked by more general mental health journals, readily available within and beyond the academic
medical community. Aside from important intellectual contributions, the journal will inform service-oriented work that will make institutions more effective in delivering mental health care to their communities.
