Publication Guidelines for Intervention Studies in the Journal of Health Psychology

A recent Journal of Health Psychology Editorial argued for 'a consolidated effort to define, identify, research and record intervention techniques across all domains offering health enhancement to humankind'. The Associate Editors, Editorial Board and approximately 100 reviewers commented on proposals to improve the clarity, depth and detail of papers reporting intervention studies. This Editorial specifies the criteria that will be applied to future submissions reporting intervention studies in the Journal of Health Psychology. The criteria extend the application of the CONSORT, TREND and PRISMA statements to intervention studies within the field of health psychology.
