The Cochrane Behavioral Medicine Field was registered with The Cochrane Collaboration on February 27th 2006. The goal of this Cochrane Field is to increase and improve the evidence-base of behavioral medicine interventions through the facilitation of collaborations between behavioral medicine society affiliates and Cochrane Review Group affiliates. Additional information about the Cochrane Behavioral Medicine Field can be found within our Background Articles listed below.
This website has been designed to help behavioral medicine practitioners, researchers, and consumers in the following ways:
Practitioners
. Identify the behavioral medicine interventions that have been studied for particular health conditions
. Review the available research for a particular behavioral medicine intervention
Researchers/Librarians
. Identify which behavioral medicine interventions have been studied sufficiently to warrant writing systematic reviews about the efficacy and/or effectiveness of that intervention
. Identify which behavioral medicine interventions require additional research attention for specific health conditions
Consumers
. Identify which behavioral medicine interventions have been studied for a particular health condition
Our scope includes articles that include behavioral components in the intervention implemented or the outcome assessed. Please see the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Field, the Health Promotion and Public Health Field, or the Occupational Health Field for additional resources if those are your specific areas of interest.
