Health Before Humvees: Making Behavioral Medicine Available to All
Linda C. Baumann, PhD, RN, FAAN
Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI
The future of behavioral medicine will require a perspective that transcends national boundaries. Global behavioral research must attend to the wide disparities in health status and social conditions experienced by hundreds of millions of people in the developing world. These populations experience a disproportionate burden of disease and too few resources to address them. The translation of research into practice is a moral imperative that poses challenges to researchers and practitioners. This translation of knowledge into sustainable interventions we must address broad perspectives on health and behaviors, be delivered within the resources of health care systems, and be accessible to people who need them. I will draw upon my work in developing countries to illustrate the challenges of meeting urgent health needs and advancing knowledge for the benefit of future populations.

The Significance of Behavioral Medicine in Transforming Societies: the Central-Eastern European Health Paradox
Maria S. Kopp, MD, PhD
Director, Semmelweis University, Institute of Behavioural Sciences, and Professor of Behavioural Medicine, Budapest, Hungary
In the twentieth century, Hungarian born scientists, such as Sándor Ferenczi, Franz Alexander, Hans Selye, Michael Bálint, significantly contributed to laying the foundations of behavioral medicine. Despite this history, in the communist period the lack of behavioral medicine attitude may have contributed to the so called Central-Eastern European (CEE) health paradox. Since the late 1980s, the mortality rates among 45-64 year old men in Hungary rose to higher levels than they were in the 1930s, in spite of much better medical care and economic situation. The gap in life expectancy between CEE countries and Western Europe continues to be a major public health problem.
Although men and women share the same socio-economic circumstances, there are significant gender differences in worsening mortality rates. There are also marked morbidity and mortality differences among regions and socio-economic strata.
Based on the data of our national representative surveys conducted in the Hungarian population (Hungarostudy 1988, 1995, 2002), we found that a worse socio-economic situation is linked to higher morbidity and mortality rates mainly through the mediation of psychosocial factors. Consequently, in a suddenly transforming society the behavioral medicine approach might have central importance in effective health promotion.

Rules of Engagement: Using information Technology to Strengthen Alliances for Behavior Change and Disease Management
Patricia Flatley Brennan, RN, PhD
Moehlman Bascom Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI
Well-designed, special purpose information systems support support behavior change and have proven acceptability to lay people. Now it is time to move the discussion beyond the feasibility of using emerging technologies to improve lay peoples access to health information and health communication toward systematically applying information systems to strategically alter the patient-clinician alliance in an manner that bests serves the patient and best uses the resources of the health care system. The challenge to health professionals and medical informaticists alike is embedding these emerging technologies into a care systems grounded in a philosophy of engagement. Engagement ascribes to the patient-clinician alliance those characteristics that insure a commitment to joint efforts toward the person's goals of health promotion or disease management. The rules of engagement are simple: persistent presence, clear communication, ubiquitous access to relevant health care information, and re-engineering of the clinical encounter to best capitalize on the benefits of technology, the willingness of lay people to use technology and the skill of the clinician to effectively balance human intervention with technologically-mediated behavioral change interventions.

From Research To Practice To Policy: Reducing HIV Risk Among African-American Adolescents In Urban Communities
Loretta Sweet Jemmott, PhD, RN
Professor and Director, Center for Urban Health Research and van Ameringen Professor in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, University of Pennsylvania - School of Nursing, Philadelphia, PA
African Americans continue to be disproportionately represented among new cases of HIV and AIDS. Comprising only 12% of the U.S. population, African Americans account for 31% of reported AIDS cases. The disproportionate impact of AIDS on African Americans is particularly marked among adolescents.
Although adolescents account for less than 1% of all reported AIDS cases in the U.S. this statistic underestimates the potential for HIV infection among adolescents. About 17% of reported AIDS cases involve young adults 20-29 years of age. Recognizing that HIV has an incubation period of over 11 years, it is likely that many African American young adults become infected during adolescence. Currently HIV is increasing at an alarming rate among individuals 13-24. In addition to their risks for HIV infection, U.S. adolescents have the highest rates of non-HIV STDs of any age group. Each year 1 in 4 sexually active adolescents - 3 million adolescents - contracts STD. Low-income inner-city African American adolescents are especially at risk.. Given these alarming statistics, it is critically important that research be conducted to design and evaluate effective interventions to reduce HIV risk associated sexual behavior among inner-city African American adolescents.
Considerable research indicates that behavioral interventions can reduce HIV sexual risk associated behavior among adolescents if they are (a) are tailored to the study population or culture based on formative research with members of the study population and (b) have an explicit theoretical basis. Yet three important questions continue to emerge: 1) how do we develop effective HIV/STD risk reduction interventions? 2) How do effective interventions get disseminated to end users (schools, clinics, churches, housing developments, etc.), and 3) What role does policy play in the implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of effective interventions?
Therefore this presentation will: 1) describe the social psychological factors that are associated with HIV high risk sexual behavior, 2) describe a theory-based culturally competent HIV risk reduction intervention and how it is developed and tailored to each population, i.e. adolescents, adults, etc. 3) discuss the use of this intervention in three randomized control trials, and 4) address how this evidenced-based HIV/STD risk reduction curricula has impacted policy and practice across the nation. In addition, Dr. Jemmott will describe her three curricula, which were selected and disseminated by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Adolescent and School Health. Lastly, Dr. Jemmott will challenge us to bring research to practice by utilizing strategies that produce the outcomes our communities want and deserve.

Communication the Key to Quality Cancer Care: Research and New Directions
Lesley Fallowfield, BSc, DPhil
Professor of Psycho-Oncology, Psychosocial Oncology Group and Director, Cancer Research, Brighton & Sussex Medical School, University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton, England
Doctors and nurses will talk and listen to patients more often than they will conduct any other single medical or nursing procedure, yet few have received adequate formal education in this core clinical skill. Effective communication is a major determinant of the accuracy and completeness of information collected influencing both the range and number of symptoms elicited, permits more precise assessment of treatment efficacy, promotes patient education, understanding, and adherence to treatment recommendations, and contributes significantly to patient or health care satisfaction.
Over the past 15 years, Cancer Research UK has providedsubstantial funding for the development and evaluation of a communication skills training intervention for oncologists. Results of a major randomised trial have shown that an intensive 3-day residential course employing cognitive, affective and behavioural components led to substantive benefits. These improvements transferred into the clinic setting and moreover were still apparent at 12 months follow up assessments. Physicians' attitudes and beliefs towards the importance of good communication changed. They utilised more patient-centred interviewing techniques, asked fewer leading questions, more open-focused questions, made more appropriate responses to patient led clues, displayed more empathy, interrupted less and summarised more.
These findings with others have led to a major initiative in the UK to improve communication skills training throughout the National Health Service. This programme will be discussed together with new research focusing on communication within multi-disciplinary teams.

Keynote Lecture
Global Public Health Challenges for Behavioral Medicine
Pekka Puska, MD, PhD, MPolSc
Director General, National Public Health Institute - KTL, Helsinki, Finland
Global public health is in rapid transition. Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are now the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Contributing to this change is the rapid transition in lifestyles, i.e. increase in fatty, sugary and salty food, reduction in physical activity and increased tobacco use. All of these risk factors are well known to developed countries, and these diseases had earlier on been regarded as "diseases of affluence". They are, however, becoming prevalent in developing countries, with 79% of deaths attributed to NCDs occurring there. Noncommunicable diseases move to poor countries, within the populations these unhealthy lifestyles and NCDs increasingly concentrate in low, socio-economic groups thus greatly contributing to inequity in health.
Thus for global health promotion of healthy lifestyles are key questions. To reverse the trend and prevent NCDs, it is important, worldwide, to strengthen efforts to influence individuals and environments to make the healthy choices easier. The work concerns public policy decision as well as involvement of private sectors in their production and marketing. WHO has taken active steps to address undesirable individual and organizational behavior so as to prevent and control NCDs at both the global and country levels. At the global level, some of the actions taken include the Framework convention on Tobacco Control, the Move for Health Campaign, and the Global Strategy for Diet, Physical Activity and Health, under preparation. Behavioral medicine has great potential for global health solutions. This concerns both better understanding of the behavioral nature of the risk factors and their determinants, as well as the sound behavioral and social issue principles for desired lifestyle changes.

Optimism, Coping, and Health
Michael F. Scheier, PhD
Professor of Psychology, Co-Director, Pittsburgh Mind-Body Center, Department of Psychology, Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA
Recent research has explored the effects of expectancies on psychological and physical well-being. This presentation will focus on one particular manifestation of the expectancy construct--dispositional optimism, as defined by the generalized belief that good rather than bad outcomes will occur in the future across various domains of one's life. Research will be reviewed that links dispositional optimism to psychological well-being when dealing with stressful circumstances. Research linking optimism to physical well-being will also be discussed. Particular attention will be placed on research examining the effects of optimism in the context of adjusting to diagnosis and treatment for disease and coping with chronic illness. Coping differences between optimists and pessimists will also be considered, and research will be described that links these coping differences to the differences in outcomes that optimists and pessimists receive. A final portion of the presentation will focus on the potential psychological benefit of disengaging from unattainable goals, and how the benefits of goal disengagement might be enhanced further when people are able to find alternative goals to pursue and are able to re-engage and psychologically commit themselves to those alternative goals.

Personality as Risk and Resilience: An Interpersonal Path for Research and Application
Timothy W. Smith, PhD
Department of Psychology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT
Associations between personality characteristics and subsequent health have provided an important part of the scientific underpinnings of behavioral medicine. Currently this literature contains several important and seemingly robust effects, but it is complex and provides more information about who might be at risk than what might be done about it. As illustrated though the examples of hostility, negative affectivity, and optimism, the interpersonal perspective in personality, social and clinical psychology provides a valuable conceptual and methodological framework for many of the challenges in this area of behavioral medicine research and application. The interpersonal perspective is comprised of a general assumption about the nature of personality, a model of personality development, a dimensional model of social behavior, and a process model of personality and the social environment. These concepts and several well-developed methodological tools are useful in a) integrating the diverse literature on personality and health, b) improving the methodological quality of future studies c) explicating underlying mechanisms, d) designing interventions, and e) considering the development and prevention of risk.

Keynote Lecture
Childhood Obesity
Risa J. Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MBA
President and Chief Executive Officer and Trustee, 2003, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Princeton, NJ
Americans face a health crisis of epidemic proportions. Overweight and obesity rates have increased dramatically, affecting all racial, ethnic, socioeconomic and age groups. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight, and almost one-third are obese. More alarming is the fact that, since 1980, overweight has doubled in children ages 6 to 11 and tripled in adolescents. If current trends persist, the obesity crisis will have devastating consequences for our children, heightening their risk for chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
As America's largest health and health care philanthropy, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is committed to halting the increase in childhood obesity. To reduce its prevalence, it is necessary to address both sides of the equation for achieving healthy weight: physical activity and nutrition. It is unrealistic, however, to assume that behavior change in these areas will occur quickly or easily, particularly because the environment in which individuals make food and physical activity decisions presents significant barriers to healthy choices. RWJF therefore supports behavior change interventions as well as environmental and policy approaches that lay the groundwork for behavior change. We are hopeful that these efforts, which include innovative behavioral medicine interventions, will motivate more Americans to eat healthier, become more active and, ultimately, achieve healthier weights.
