Integrative and interdisciplinary papers that address themselves to a broad constituency are particularly welcome. Suitable topics for submission include, but are not restricted to, the role of biological, environmental, psychosocial, or socio-cultural factors that may contribute to disease or its prevention; behavioral methods used in the diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation of individuals having physical and or mental disorders; and techniques that could reduce disease risk by modifying health beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors including decisions about using professional services. Interventions used may be at the individual, group, multicenter, or community level.
