Description

Volume 2 highlights key theoretical perspectives and research underlying health psychology interventions used to facilitate adaptation to and management of disease, including internal and external processes that can affect quality of life and health outcomes and that may be modifiable by behavioral and psychosocial interventions. It discusses considerations for dissemination in adapting interventions to address ethnic and racial health disparities, vulnerable groups, and variations across the lifespan, and procedures for testing the efficacy, mediators, and moderators of these interventions. The volume presents the evidence base for the efficacy of health psychology interventions designed for and evaluated in patients with specific medical conditions or within specific populations, and summarizes the evidence for the mechanisms underlying their effects and moderating factors. Finally, it summarizes ongoing efforts in implementation science to increase effectiveness and dissemination of health psychology interventions for medical conditions in real-world settings, through advances in multiarray electronic data capture, artificial intelligence, the use of remote technologies, and policy changes.Typham this is the title: APA Handbook of Health Psychology, Volume 2 Clinical Interventions and Disease Management in Health Psychology
