Health Psychology strives to promote the understanding of scientific relationships between behavioral principles and physical health and illness. The journal publishes articles that explore the role of environmental, psychosocial, or sociocultural factors that may contribute to disease or its prevention.
Articles discuss behavioral methods used in the diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation of individuals having physical disorders, in addition to techniques that could reduce disease risk by modifying health beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors, including decisions about using professional services.
