The Journal seeks to improve the quality of life through multidisciplinary health efforts in fostering a better understanding of the multidimensional nature of both individuals and social systems as they relate to health behaviors.

To provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of personal attributes, personality characteristics, behavior patterns, social structure, and processes on health maintenance, health restoration, and health improvement; to disseminate knowledge of holistic, multidisciplinary approaches to designing and implementing effective health programs; and to showcase health behavior analysis skills that have been proven to affect health improvement and recovery.

After 33 years of hard copy journals, the Journal is going green. In an effort to contribute to a healthful environment, effective January 2010 we will provide only electronic (online) access to the Journal. We are going paperless; it's great for you and great for the environment. Sign up today here.
