The Handbook of Health Behavior Change

by Marisa E. Hilliard PhD (Editor), Kristin A. Riekert PhD (Editor), Judith K. Ockene PhD, MEd, MA (Editor), Lori Pbert PhD (Editor)

Overview

This revised and updated fifth edition of the highly acclaimed “gold standard” textbook continues to provide a foundational review of health behavior change theories, research methodologies, and intervention strategies across a range of populations, age groups, and health conditions. It examines numerous, complex, and often co-occurring factors that can both positively and negatively influence people’s ability to change behaviors to enhance their health including intrapersonal, interpersonal, sociocultural, environmental, systems, and policy factors, in the context of leading theoretical frameworks. Beyond understanding predictors and barriers to achieving meaningful health behavior change, the Handbook provides an updated review of the evidence base for novel and well-supported behavioral interventions and offers recommendations for future research.

New content includes chapters on Sun Protection, Interventions With the Family System, and the Role of Technology in Behavior Change. Throughout the textbook, updated reviews emphasize mobile health technologies and electronic health data capture and transmission and a focus on implementation science. And the fifth edition, like the previous edition, provides learning objectives to facilitate use by course instructors in health psychology, behavioral medicine, and public health.

The Handbook of Health Behavior Change, Fifth Edition, is a valuable resource for students at the graduate and advanced undergraduate level in the fields of public or population health, medicine, behavioral science, health communications, medical sociology and anthropology, preventive medicine, and health psychology. It also is a great reference for clinical investigators, behavioral and social scientists, and healthcare practitioners who grapple with the challenges of supporting individuals, families, and systems when trying to make impactful health behavior change.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Cheryl Leiningen, DNP, RN, APN-BC, PMHNP-BC(Monmouth University School of Nursing and Health Studies)
Description: This updated book is a valuable addition to the resources available on health behavior change theories and the factors that enhance health. This edition includes updated health behavior change research and innovations in technology, sun protection, and family system interventions. The previous edition was published in 2014, and the first edition was published in 1988.
Purpose: The intent is to provide a comprehensive guide to behavior change initiatives that will support approaches for health and promote future research goals. Six sections contain 25 chapters, providing an extensive knowledge base in strategies for creating healthy behaviors and disseminating new knowledge.
Audience: This is a valuable resource for graduate students in a variety of fields, such as population health, health communication, public health, medical sociology and anthropology, preventive medicine and health psychology. It also serves as a clinical resource for practitioners working with individuals who are considering health behavior change, for clinical investigators, and for behavioral and social scientists. The book is a compilation of works by an extensive list of contributors from all areas of health and behavioral sciences.
Features: The book begins by reviewing the research available on health behavior change and the factors that either support or are a barrier to change. Lifestyle behaviors and chronic health conditions are discussed and strategies for evaluation and dissemination are explored. New to this edition is the role that technology plays in health behavior change. Each chapter contains valuable tables that provide easy-to-access information and threaded throughout the book are bulleted side tabs with key points from each section.
Assessment: This is a comprehensive review of the interventions related to behavior change. This update addresses the most current research on behavioral interventions that positively impact health, technology, and recommendations for future areas of research.
