This revised and updated fifth edition of the highly acclaimed
""gold standard"" textbook continues to provide a foundational
review of health behavior change theories, research methodologies,
and intervention strategies across a range of populations, age
groups, and health conditions. It examines numerous, complex, and
often co-occuring factors that can both positively and negatively
influence people's ability to change behaviors to enhance their
health including intrapersonal, interpersonal, sociocultural,
environmental, systems, and policy factors, in the context of
leading theoretical frameworks. Beyond understanding predictors and
barriers to achieving meaningful health behavior change, the
Handbook provides an updated review of the evidence base for novel
and well-supported behavioral interventions and offers
recommendations for future research. New content includes chapters
on Sun Protection, Interventions within the Family System, and the
Role of Technology in Behavior Change. Throughout the textbook,
updated reviews emphasize Mobile health technologies and electronic
health data capture and transmission and a focus on implementation
science. And the fifth edition, like the previous edition, provides
learning objectives and discussion questions to facilitate use by
course instructors in health psychology, behavioral medicine, and
public health. Handbook of Health Behavior Change 5th Edition is a
