Abstract

We gladly welcome readers to Volume 6, Issue 1 of the Health Sciences Investigations (HSI) Journal. Launched in 2020, the HSI Journal has rapidly gained international recognition, attracting global submissions across diverse scientific fields. Notably, our recent Special Edition (Volume 5 Issue 2, 2024) explored
the health implications of “galamsey” — a term referring to illegal smallscale gold mining in Ghana. This critically acclaimed issue is a mustread. The HSI Journal is indexed in Elsevier and affiliated journal repositories, including SCOPUS®, and is listed in the African Journals OnLine (AJOL) citation database. The HSI Journal is also pursuing inclusion in other major repositories. Consider the HSI Journal for your next publication. Volume 6 Issue 1 features ten Original Research
Articles on diverse topics, each providing valuable insights. The articles cover a range of subjects, including the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater from hand wash stations, substance use among high school-going adolescents in Ghana, and a rare but significant cause of chest pain in young adult females.
