Abstract

A visioning initiative among members of SBM has identified new areas of investigations, such as behavioral medicine’s need to address climate change, gun violence and science communication. These areas emerged along-side traditional areas of behavioral medicine such as decreasing health inequity and integrating behavioral medicine into health care systems.

Keywords: Behavioral medicine’s provocative question; Climate change and behavior; SBM Annual Meeting 2020; SBM Vision for the future.
