Health Psychology   http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/hea/index.aspx A publication of the American Psychological Association

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.

Journal looks for papers that report empirical research with 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
