A key objective of this paper is to describe some major challenges and opportunities facing the behavioral medicine field in the current decade. Amidst current US statistics that present a sobering image of the nation's health, there have been a number of notable achievements in the behavioral medicine field that span the scientific/health continuum. However, many of these achievements have received little notice by the public and decision makers.
A case is presented for the potential of scientific narrative for presenting behavioral medicine evidence in ways that engage attention and compel action. Additional areas for behavioral medicine engagement include expanding interdisciplinary connections into new arenas, continuing the growth of activities involving emerging technologies, building international connections, and engaging with policy.
Finally, the fundamental importance of an integrated behavioral medicine field that plays an active role in supporting and advancing its members and the field as a whole is discussed.
本文的一个主要目标是描述行为医学领域在当前十年所面临的一些主要挑战和机遇。在美国当前的统计数据中,呈现出一幅国家健康状况严峻的景象,但行为医学领域已经取得了许多跨越科学/健康连续体的显著成就。然而,这些成就中的许多都没有引起公众和决策者的注意。
本文提出了一种科学叙事的可能性,即用吸引注意力和促使行动的方式呈现行为医学证据。行为医学参与的其他领域包括扩大跨学科联系进入新领域,继续扩大涉及新兴技术的活动,建立国际联系,以及参与政策制定。
最后,讨论了一个综合行为医学领域的重要性,该领域在支持和促进其成员以及整个领域方面发挥着积极作用。
