About the journal
Journal of Health Psychology is an international forum for the best research in health psychology from around the world. It provides a platform for traditional empirical analyses as well as more qualitative and/or critically oriented approaches. It also addresses the social contexts in which psychological and health processes are embedded.
"Those interested in health psychology and behavioral medicine should find this journal to be a welcome complement to others in the field" - Journal of the American Medical Association
"I applaud its focus on the integration of research and practice. Reviews of the empirical literature and the opportunities for public debate should prove to be particularly useful" - Suzanne Bennett Johnson University of Florida, Gainesville, USA
