Wide-ranging coverage offers a robust evidence base for understanding decision making across the lifespan, among family members, in the context of evolving healthcare systems, and in the face of life-changing diagnosis. The section on applied decision making reviews the effectiveness of decision-making tools in healthcare, featuring real-world examples and guidelines for tailored communications with patients. Throughout, contributors spotlight the practical importance of the field and the pressing need to strengthen health decision-making skills on both sides of the clinician\/client dyad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e's topics: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrom laboratory to clinic and back: connecting neuroeconomic and clinical mea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003esures of decision-making dysfunctions. \u003cli\u003eStrategies to promote the maintenance of behavior change: moving from theoretical principles to practices.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShared decision making and the patient-provider relationship.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003eOvercoming the many pitfalls of communicating risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEvidence-based medicine and decision-making policy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe internet, social media, and health decision making.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Health Decision Science\u003c\/i\u003e will interest a wide span of professionals, among them health and clinical psychologists, behavioral researchers, health policymakers, and sociologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael A.
