Summary:

"Health psychology is a specialty area that focuses on how biology, psychology, behavior, and social factors influence health and illness. It examines stress processes and health beliefs among healthy individuals; how individuals, couples, and families cope with pain or the diagnosis of a serious illness; what leads to better or worse adherence to treatment regimens; and how health cognitions, beliefs, and emotions shape health behaviors. Health psychologists embrace the biopsychosocial model or a biopsychosociocultural model of health and illness, in which health and disease are conceptualized as having complex multifactorial determinants. This handbook is targeted to professional audiences, as well as scientists and practitioners in other subfields of psychology and professionals from complementary fields, including public health, medicine, nursing, and social work. Volume 3 focuses outward to examine research, interventions, and policies that integrate health psychology with public health. Health psychology and public health share a number of conceptual features and areas of interest. Both fields study the initiation and maintenance of behavior change, and have a keen interest in the social determinants of health, and the value of health equity. Both fields focus on vulnerable populations, such as individuals with low income, underrepresented ethnic minorities, individuals with chronic illnesses, and use of research and evidence-based practice to inform intervention and policy. Topic areas are organized within four parts: Part I, Foundations of Health Psychology and Public Health; Part II, Settings and Populations for Intervention; Part III, Preventive Interventions at the Population Level; and Part IV, Emerging Issues in Health." --Preface (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
