Summary:

"Volume 2 of this three-volume series focuses on issues that cut across different disease outcomes and the promotion of health. These issues encompass risk factors, approaches to risk reduction, the maintenance of health, mediators of risk and risk reduction, and adaptation to health and disease. Part I of this volume includes chapters that address health risk factors and risk reduction methods that cut across a variety of disease outcomes. Most of these address behavioral risk factors, such as dietary intake, substance abuse, cigarette smoking, sexual risk behavior, physical activity, and sleep. The relationships of these risk behaviors to various diseases are reviewed, and the mediators of behaviors, as in the case of obesity, or the abnormalities that occur in health risk factors, such as in the case of disorders of sleep, are also discussed. Part II includes chapters that mediate the relationship between risk behaviors and the development of a variety of diseases, such as in the case of stress, coping, social support, and spirituality. Included in this section are also chapters that address symptom perception, healthcare seeking, and adherence. Part III includes three chapters that deal with adaptation to health and disease. Pain is significantly influenced by psychosocial factors even in the absence of underlying biological mechanisms. Separate chapters on family and patient adaptation to illness and disease round out this section, addressing these different aspects of those who are affected by illness"--Introduction.
