Abstract

Behavioral medicine is increasingly being recognized as an important part of the solution to improving health care. As an area of interest, behavioral medicine is remarkably wide-ranging, with a multilevel focus that extends from the cellular (e.g., neuroplasticity) to the societal level (e.g., policy). Behavioral medicine is, in most places, not a profession or even a specialty area. Instead, it resides within and across academic disciplines and health-care professions; it also reaches beyond the academic and health-care settings and into schools, worksites, and the community at large. This chapter reports where, how, and by whom, in research, training, and practice, that behavioral medicine is occurring to address complex health problems. Large research initiatives are incorporating the importance of behavior in health and illness. A variety of health-care professionals and, otherwise, even laypersons (e.g., peer coaches) are engaging in behavioral medicine to better understand and impact health through behavior change. Medical settings, including primary care, are increasingly integrating behavioral medicine. Finally, schools of medicine, public health, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and allied health are increasingly incorporating behavioral medicine into their curricula.
