This rich resource provides a thorough overview of current
knowledge and new directions in the study of the biological,
psychological, social, and cultural factors that affect health,
health behavior, and illness. Chapters review the latest theories
and research with an emphasis on how research is translated into
behavioral medicine interventions. Featuring contributions from top
researchers and rising stars in the field, authors provide a
theoretical foundation; evaluate the empirical evidence; and make
suggestions for future research, clinical practice, and policy. The
handbook reflects the latest approaches to health psychology today,
including: Emphasis throughout on the socio-cultural aspects of
health, including socioeconomic status, gender, race/ethnicity,
sexual orientation, and age/developmental stage A new section on
emerging areas in health psychology, including behavioral genomics,
military veterans' health, and digital health Coverage of
prevention, interventions, and treatment in the applications
section An expansion of the biopsychosocial model across several
levels of analysis, including cultural, macro-social, and cellular
factors Sustained emphasis on translating research into practice
and policy The handbook considers the intersections of concepts
(behavior change), populations (women's and sexual minority
health), cultural groups (African American, Asian American, and
Latino), risk and protective factors (obesity, coping), and
diseases (cancer, diabetes, HIV), making it essential reading for
scholars of health psychology, public health, epidemiology, and
nursing. Novices to the field appreciate the accessibly written
chapters, while seasoned professionals appreciate the book's deep,
cutting-edge coverage.
