AB Health  behavior  is  central  to  disease  prevention,  detection,  and  treatment  management.  The  leading  contributors  to  disease  and  death  in  the  United  States  and  globally  are  behavioral  factors,  including  tobacco  use,  diet  and  activity  patterns,  alcohol  consumption,  sexual  behavior,  adherence  to  medical  treatment,  and  avoidable  injuries.  Among  the  most  important  challenges  we  face  is  to  understand  health  behavior  and  to  transform  knowledge  about  behavior  into  effective  strategies  for  health  enhancement.  Health  behavior  research  ultimately  will  be  judged  by  its  contributions  to  improving  the  behavior  and  health  of  populations.1
