行为医学研究学会、美国身心医学会、健康心理学学会和行为医学学会是北美四个最大的行为医学研究组织。所有这四个组织在过去40年里都随着时代和条件的变化而发展。他们都是独立完成这项工作的，而且每一个都在行为医学领域占据着独特的位置。然而，所有四个认识到需要合作，以应对共同关心的挑战，并利用行为医学研究的机会，对预防服务和卫生保健产生更大的影响。最近成立的行为医学研究理事会（BMRC）就是一个很好的例子。作为所有四个组织的自治联合委员会，BMRC将促进大型，明确，随机对照试验，以解决行为医学中一些最优先的问题。这项合作事业将帮助整个领域，沿着主要的行为医学研究组织，在未来40年内继续以富有成效的方式发展。
The Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research, the American Psychosomatic Society, the Society for Health Psychology, and the Society of Behavioral Medicine are the four largest behavioral medicine research organizations in North America. All four of these organizations have evolved over the past 40years, in response to changing times and conditions. They have done so independently, and each one occupies a unique niche in the field of behavioral medicine. However, all four recognize the need for cooperation to address challenges of mutual concern and to capitalize on opportunities for behavioral medicine research to have a greater impact on preventive services and health care. The recent formation of the Behavioral Medicine Research Council (BMRC) is a prime example. As an autonomous joint committee of all four organizations, the BMRC will promote large, definitive, randomized controlled trials to address some of the highest-priority problems in behavioral medicine. This cooperative venture will help the entire field, along with the major behavioral medicine research organizations, continue to evolve in productive ways over the next 40years.
