Health and behavior: Frontiers of research in the biobehavioral sciences (IOM publication) - Hardcover
Synopsis
An array of international experts discuss aspects of health care, such as the sociology of health care in developing countries, the mental health aspects of general health care and the dangers to children through disease, malnutrition and other factors. These chapters are essential reading for those concerned with improving health care--be they health personnel, behavioral scientists, or laypeople interested in human behavior and its relation to health.

Book Description
There is clear evidence of causal links between specific forms of behaviour and the improvement or deterioration of health states. Unless human behaviour can be influenced, there can be no progress in promoting health, preventing disease and alleviating suffering.
