Our Publications and Other Media
Annals of Behavioral Medicine (ABM) is one of SBM's two journals. ABM aims to foster the exchange of knowledge derived from the disciplines involved in the field of behavioral medicine, and the integration of biological, psychosocial, and behavioral factors and principles as they relate to such areas as health promotion, disease prevention, risk factor modification, disease progression, adjustment and adaptation to physical disorders, and rehabilitation.
To achieve these goals, much of the journal is devoted to the publication of original empirical articles including reports of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, or other basic and clinical investigations. Integrative reviews of the evidence for the application of behavioral interventions in health care will also be provided. These reviews apply the standards of evidence-based medicine and help bridge the gap between basic science and clinical practice in behavioral medicine.
Translational Behavioral Medicine: Practice, Policy, Research (TBM) is one of SBM's two journals. TBM is an international peer-reviewed journal that offers continuous, online-first publication. TBM’s mission is to engage, inform, and catalyze dialogue between the research, practice, and policy communities about behavioral medicine. It aims to bring actionable science to practitioners and to prompt debate on policy issues that surround implementing the evidence.
TBM takes pride in fostering an inclusive and equitable environment for researchers, authors, reviewers, editors, and readers, and is committed to publishing peer-reviewed content representing diverse populations and perspectives. TBM’s vision is to lead the translation of behavioral science findings to improve patient and population health outcomes. We encourage authors to use biased-free language when developing content.
Healthy Living articles allow members to share their findings and expertise directly with the public so they can apply them to their everyday lives. They’re read by more than 15,000 people each month!
Outlook is the official newsletter of SBM, published four times a year. Each issue of Outlook provides updates about SBM activities, policies, and other issues affecting the behavioral medicine community.
The Buzz in Behavioral Medicine Podcast features discussions with experts on topics in behavioral medicine. Each episode focuses on a different topic, ranging from research in a specific area to broader subjects like career mentorship and science communication.
