CALL FOR mHEALTH PAPERS
Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research
~Special Issue Call for Papers~
”°Health Behavior in the Information Age”±
IMPORTANT DATES (DEADLINES EXTENDED):
In this special issue, we seek methodological and empirical papers that address the challenge of quantitatively measuring and assessing health behaviors, or computationally evaluating the effectiveness of behavior change interventions. In order to enhance the impact of this work, we are very interested in papers that are strongly grounded in a health problem of interest and health behavior theory. Additionally, those that view data limitations as an opportunity to make a contribution (rather than a reason not to pursue a topic) are welcomed.
Examples of topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

In this special issue, we seek methodological and empirical papers that address the challenge of quantitatively measuring and assessing health behaviors, or computationally evaluating the effectiveness of behavior change interventions. In order to enhance the impact of this work, we are very interested in papers that are strongly grounded in a health problem of interest and health behavior theory. Additionally, those that view data limitations as an opportunity to make a contribution (rather than a reason not to pursue a topic) are welcomed.
Examples of topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Passive sensing of behavior through smartphone sensors or wearable devices
- Natural language approaches (e.g., social media, email, etc.) for learning about health behaviors
- Enhanced approaches to data capture of behavior in clinical settings and/or in EHR
- Linking disparate data sources to better understand health behavior
- Longitudinal studies of health behavior dynamics
- Use of computational methods for understanding and/or supporting cognitive, decision, self©\regulatory, and/or other important health behavior relevant processes
