About The Journal

Translational Behavioral Medicine: Practice, Policy, Research (TBM) is an international peer-reviewed journal that offers continuous, online-first publication. TBM’s mission is to engage, inform, and catalyze dialogue between the research, practice, and policy communities about behavioral medicine. It aims to bring actionable science to practitioners and to prompt debate on policy issues that surround implementing the evidence. TBM takes pride in fostering an inclusive and equitable environment for researchers, authors, reviewers, editors, and readers, and is committed to publishing peer-reviewed content representing diverse populations and perspectives. TBM’s vision is to lead the translation of behavioral science findings to improve patient and population health outcomes. We encourage authors to use biased-free language when developing content.
