圈养的非人类灵长类动物的健康状况是科学家、兽医、群体管理者、看护人员和从事非人类灵长类动物生物医学研究的研究人员共同关心的问题。随着越来越多的监管、认证和研究聚焦于优化实验室灵长类动物社会住房的使用，以及评估慢性压力指数和相关福利措施的技术的出现，现在是展示非人灵长类动物行为管理领域最新进展的最佳时机。这里展示的集体研究部分受到2014年在佐治亚州迪凯特举行的美国灵长类动物学家学会第37届年会上举行的题为“慢性激素和人口变量：非人类灵长类动物福祉的中心范围研究”的研讨会的启发。通过对圈养灵长类动物行为管理项目的科学和/或管理监督的目标读者，本期特刊为在研究环境中实施社会住房项目提供了急需的指导，并利用跨多个设施的合作来解决行为管理的关键组成部分，探索如何衡量福祉的改进，并确定不同指标之间的相互关系。
The well-being of non-human primates in captivity is of joint concern to scientists, veterinarians, colony managers, caretakers, and researchers working with non-human primates in biomedical research. With increased regulatory, accreditation, and research focus on optimizing the use of social housing for laboratory primates, as well as the advent of techniques to assess indices of chronic stress and related measures of well-being, there is no better time to present the most current advances in the field of non-human primate behavioral management. The collective body of research presented here was inspired in part by a 2014 symposium entitled, “Chronic Hormones and Demographic Variables: Center-Wide Studies on Non-Human Primate Well-Being” held at the American Society of Primatologists’ 37th Annual Meeting in Decatur, GA. By aiming to target readership with scientific and/or management oversight of captive primate behavioral management programs, this special issue provides badly-needed guidance for implementing social housing programs in a research environment and leverages collaboration across multiple facilities to address key components of behavioral management, explore refinements in how well-being can be measured, and identify the interrelationships between varying indices.
