Hello all,

The Behavior Analyst Online organization www.behavior-analyst-
online.org is in the process of starting a new journal- The Journal
of Behavior Analysis in Health, Sports, Fitness, and Medicine in
2008. This is just a reminder that at this point, the journal is open
for buisness. In addition, the editoral board has an open call for
papers.

The mision of Behavioral Analysis in Health, Sports, Fitness, and
Medicine (BAHSFM) is the application of behavioral principles for
promoting wellness, enhancing fitness, and sports skills development,
and ameliorating disease. The bi-directional interaction between
physiology and behavior can be effectively mediated through the
application of elementary principles of behavior. Behavior analysis
has thereby exerted its influence in the fields of health and
medicine, as well as in the enhancement of the safe and skillful
performance that in turn facilitates well-being. Examples include
but are not limited to the areas of exercise and dietary compliance,
smoking cessation, stress reduction, diabetes management, obesity
treatment, and the development of sport performance and safety skills
that bring about healthy reinforcement-rich lifestyles less
vulnerable to disease. This journal aims to foster a greater
understanding of the impact of behavior analysis on health, sports,
fitness, and behavioral medicine and seeks to publish conceptual and
research articles in these areas. In addition, we seek to publish
literature reviews and articles focused on behavior analytic
contributions to health policy and problem reduction.

SO if you believe that you have an article that is suitable for this
journal, send it our way. You can e-mail it to me directly at
jcautilli2003@...

Thanks,

Joe Cautilli, Ph.D.
