Multiple health behavior change (MHBC) approaches are understudied. The purpose of this study is to provide strategic MHBC research direction. This cross-sectional study contacted participants through the Society of Behavioral Medicine email listservs and rated the importance of 24 MHBC research topics (1 = not at all important, 5 = extremely important) separately for general and underserved populations. Participants (n = 76) were 79 % female; 76 % White, 10 % Asian, 8 % African American, 5 % Hispanic, and 1 % Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. Top MHBC research priorities were predictors of behavior change and the sustainability, long-term effects, and dissemination/translation of interventions for both populations. Recruitment and retention of participants (t(68) = 2.17, p = 0.000), multi-behavioral indices (t(68) = 3.54, p = 0.001), and measurement burden (t(67) = 5.04, p = 0.001) were important for the underserved. Results identified the same top research priorities across populations. For the underserved, research should emphasize recruitment, retention, and measurement burden.
多种健康行为改变（MHBC）方法的研究尚少。本研究的目的是提供战略性的MHBC研究方向。这项横断面研究通过行为医学学会的电子邮件列表联系参与者，并分别针对普通人群和服务不足人群对24个MHBC研究主题的重要性进行评分（1 = 完全不重要，5 = 极其重要）。参与者（n = 76）中79%为女性；76%为白人，10%为亚洲人，8%为非裔美国人，5%为西班牙裔，1%为夏威夷原住民/太平洋岛民。MHBC的首要研究重点是行为改变的预测因素以及针对这两类人群的干预措施的可持续性、长期效果和传播/转化。参与者的招募和留存（t(68) = 2.17，p = 0.000）、多行为指标（t(68) = 3.54，p = 0.001）和测量负担（t(67) = 5.04，p = 0.001）对服务不足人群很重要。结果表明不同人群的首要研究重点相同。对于服务不足人群，研究应强调招募、留存和测量负担。
