Readership surveys can help editors assess satisfaction with a journal as well as identify potential modifications to be made. The editorial staff of The Health Educator conducted an online readership survey in the summer of 2011. After a five-week data solicitation and collection period, a total of 504 Eta Sigma Gamma (ESG) members responded. When members not receiving The Health Educator were removed, the final sample included 344 members. Results revealed that, overall members were satisfied with the content and quality ofthe journaL Notable recommendations include increasing the number ofHealth Education in Practice articles, offering Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) and Master Certified Health Education Specialist (MCHES) Continuing Education Contact Hours (CECH), and indexing the journal in MEDLINE. Surveying ESG members regarding their readership habits and preferences on different aspects of The Health Educator provided insight for the editorial staff as they consider modifications that may improve quality of the journal and increase reader satisfaction.
