About the journal
Health Psychology is a scholarly journal devoted to furthering an understanding of scientific relationships between behavioral principles on the one hand and physical health and illness on the other. The readership has a broad range of backgrounds, interests, and specializations, often interdisciplinary in nature.
The major type of paper being solicited for Health Psychology is the report of empirical research. Such papers should have significant theoretical or practical import for an understanding of relationships between behavior and physical health. Integrative papers that address themselves to a broad constituency are particularly welcome.
Suitable topics for submission include, but are not restricted to, the role of environmental, psychosocial, or sociocultural factors that may contribute to disease or its prevention; behavioral methods used in the diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation of individuals having physical disorders; and techniques that could reduce disease risk by modifying health beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors including decisions about using professional services. Interventions used may be at the individual, group, multicenter, or community level.

Instructions to Authors
Submit manuscripts electronically (.rtf, PDF, or .doc) to
Anne E. Kazak The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia 34th and Civic Center Blvd. Room 1486 CHOP North Philadelphia, PA 19104-4399
General correspondence may be directed to the Editor's Office.
Keep a copy of the manuscript to guard against loss.
The main emphasis of Health Psychology is on original research. Analytical reviews of research and brief scientific reports are also considered for publication. Submissions are welcomed from authors in psychology and other health-related disciplines.
Length
The page limit for research manuscripts is 25–30 pages. The page limit is inclusive of all parts of the manuscript, including the cover page, abstract, text, references, tables and figures.
Authors may request consideration of longer papers, in advance of submission, when there is clear justification for additional length (e.g., the paper reports on two or more studies or has an unusual or complex methodology).
Scholarly reviews and meta-analyses should not exceed 25 pages, but tables and references may be outside this page limit.
Brief reports are encouraged for innovative work that may be premature for publication as a full research report because of small sample size, novel methodologies, etc. Brief reports should be designated as such and should not exceed a total of 12 pages, inclusive of all parts of the manuscript, including the cover page, abstract, text, references, tables and figures.
All manuscripts should be double-spaced, with margins of at least 1 inch on all sides and a standard font (e.g., Times New Roman) of 12 points (no smaller).
Health Psychology considers letters concerning previously published articles. Letters should be no more than 500 words and have a maximum of five references.
Authors also have the option of placing supplemental materials online.
Submissions that exceed the page limits will be returned to the author for shortening prior to the initiation of peer review.
Submission Letter
The cover letter should include a statement indicating that the paper has been seen and approved by all authors. The full mailing address, telephone, fax, and e-mail address for the corresponding author should be included in the cover letter.
The cover letter should also confirm that the manuscript has not been published, is not currently submitted elsewhere, and that it does not contain data that is currently submitted or published elsewhere.
When a manuscript contains data that is part of a larger study, authors should describe the larger study and provide references for other study papers. Authors should clarify the relationship between their paper and others from the study and indicate the value-added scientific contribution of their study.
Authors of brief reports should indicate in the cover letter that the full report is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Manuscripts
The manuscript title should be accurate, fully explanatory, and preferably no longer then 12 words. The title should reflect the content and population studied. If the paper reports a randomized clinical trial, this should be indicated in the title. The title of brief reports should start with the words "Brief Report".
The title page should include the names of all authors and their affiliations at the time the research was done.
All manuscripts must include a structured abstract containing a maximum of 250 words with the following sections:
- Objective (brief statement of the purpose of the study);
- Methods (summary of the participants, design, measures, procedure);
- Results (primary findings); and
- Conclusions (specific statement of the implications of the data).
Please supply up to five keywords or brief phrases after the abstract.
All research involving human participants must describe oversight of the research process by the relevant Institutional Review Boards and should describe consent and assent procedures briefly in the Methods section.
All statistical tests should include effect size whenever possible.
Terminology should be sensitive to the individual who has a disease or disability. The journal endorses the concept of "people first, not their disability." Terminology should reflect the "person with a disability" (e.g., children with diabetes, persons with HIV infection, families of people with cancer) rather than the condition as an adjective (e.g., diabetic children, HIV patients, cancer families). Nonsexist language should be used.
It is important to highlight the significance and novel contribution of the work. The translation of research into practice must be evidenced in all manuscripts. Authors should incorporate a meaningful discussion of the clinical and/or policy implications of their work throughout the manuscript, rather than simply providing a separate section for this material.
Masked Review Policy
Masked review is used. Do not include author information (addresses, phone numbers, electronic mail addresses, and fax numbers) in the manuscript.
Use of CONSORT Reporting Standards
All randomized controlled trials must include a diagram indicating participant flow into the study and a completed CONSORT checklist. CONSORT diagrams (and adaptations) should be included whenever possible to clarify the flow of participants through a study.
