美国每年医疗保健支出超过2000亿美元；跨学科分析人士认为，与肺癌、心血管疾病、药物和酒精滥用以及车辆事故等可预防的功能障碍相关的经济人力成本是对人力和财政资源的不必要的浪费。人们已经达成共识，认为个人行为是当今健康研究和理解方面尚未探索的前沿领域。心理学是一门在研究个人行为（包括行为改变）方面拥有 100 年经验的学科。有人断言，学术、科学和专业心理学的每个专业都有各自的心理学家，他们有可能帮助绘制这个诱人且相对未经探索的前沿领域的一些重要里程碑——个人的健康行为。尽管这种潜力在行为医学中相当大，但在行为健康领域即使不是更大，也同样具有同等潜力，行为健康领域涉及帮助自愿且当前健康的儿童和成人保持健康。（45 参考）（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2016 APA，保留所有权利）
Yearly expenditures for health care in the US exceed $200 billion; interdisciplinary analysts believe that the financial human costs associated with such preventable dysfunctions as lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, drug and alcohol abuse, and vehicle accidents are a needless waste of human and fiscal resources. A consensus has emerged that the behavior of the individual is today's unexplored frontier in the study and understanding of health. Psychology is a discipline with 100 yrs of experience in the study of individual behavior, including behavior change. It is asserted that every specialty of academic, scientific, and professional psychology has within its ranks individual psychologists with the potential to help map some of the important landmarks in this beckoning and relatively unexplored frontier—the health behavior of individuals. Although this potential is considerable in behavioral medicine, it is equal if not greater in the field of behavioral health, which involves helping willing and currently healthy children and adults to remain healthy.(45 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
