Recent advances in genetic research and technology are permitting researchers to identify the genetic basis of awe wide array of health conditions for the first time. In addition, improved understanding of the field of epigenetics is rapidly shaping understanding of how environmental factors and behavioral changes can fundamentally alter gene expression. It is critical that health psychologists recognize the tremendous impact that genetic and epigenetic findings will likely have on their practice as well as the field of health psychology more broadly for the foreseeable future.
