Abstract
- Clinical health psychologists provide adaptive, evidenced-based interventions that incorporate behavioral medicine and behavioral health strategies, with the potential to integrate broadly across the medical system. Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare strives to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse patient population with complex behavioral health needs. This conceptual paper describes an example of health psychology at one VA healthcare system, with a focus on adaptive and culturally responsive services reaching Black, Indigenous and People of Color/Veterans of Color (BIPOC). The clinical health psychology services and cases described aim to reach Veterans who may not participate in, or benefit as fully from, traditional disease self-management or mental health services. The authors offer recommendations, to secure the value and sustainability of these integrated health psychology services, and hopefully contribute to addressing healthcare inequities.<br /> (© 2022.
