Wellness and Well-Being: A Decade Review of AAFCS Journals (2009-2019)

Well-being and wellness have long been the mantra of the family and consumer (FCS) profession (Brown, 1993). This paper shares the results of a decade review (2009-2019) of the American Association of Family & Consumer Sciences' (AAFCS) two major periodicals relative to their coverage of well-being and wellness. Specifically, we focused on the "Journal of Family & Consumer Sciences (JFCS)" and the "Family & Consumer Sciences Research Journal (FCSRJ)."
