Publications

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.   

The Outlook Newsletter is SBM’s forum for keeping its members and the public abreast of SBM activities. It includes Annual Meeting news, updates from SBM councils and committees, updates from special interest groups, letters from the SBM president, educational and informational opportunities, general society happenings, classified ads, and more.
