Vol. 7 No. 3

Dear Colleagues,

As you’ll see from our stories below, issues of health behavior are taking center stage in the country’s prominent policy discussions. It’s welcome attention that is long overdue, but biobehavioral researchers have to remain vigilant in the quest to make sure these policy dispositions are responsive to what is actually known (or not known) about behavior change.

Please drop us a line and tell us how you think the research community should be involved in this exciting time.

Cheers --

Jessie Gruman, Ph.D.
