The etiology of addiction at various levels of analysis is discussed, including neurobiology, cognition, groups, culture, and environment, which simultaneously lays out the foundations and high-level discourse to serve both novice and expert researchers and clinicians. Importantly, the volume explores the prevention and treatment of such addictions as alcohol, tobacco, novel drugs, food, gambling, sex, work, shopping, the internet, and several seldom-investigated behaviors (e.g. love, tanning, or exercise).

Given the stress of interacting with healthcare systems, be it a result of fear, expense, or confusion, individuals may make decisions that are not in their best interest. There exists an intricate interplay between behavioral economics, neuro economics, health, and healthcare. Until recently, an examination of these interconnected factors has been nonexistent, even though understanding them is vital for proper healthcare administration and top-level patient care. Behavioral Economics and Neuroeconomics of Health and Healthcare explores the underlying psychological and neurological factors that influence individual choices related to health and healthcare. Drawing from a rich pool of research, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of how cognitive biases, emotional factors, and social influences contribute to health-related decisions and outcomes. Not only does the book detail these psychological and neurological drivers of behavior, but it features effective interventions to improve health outcomes and offer practical implications for healthcare practitioners and policymakers.
