Abstract:

An interdisciplinary overview of theory, history, and leading research
in the field

With a joint linguistic and medical perspective, The Handbook of
Language in Public Health and Healthcare explores innovative
approaches for improving clinical education, clinician-patient
communication, assessment, and mass communication. Contributions by a
diverse panel of experts address a wide range of key topics, including
language concordance in clinical care, medical interpreting, the role
of language as a social determinant of health, reaching linguistically
diverse audiences during public health crises, assessing clinician
language skills, and more.

Organized into five parts, the Handbook covers the theory, history,
and context of linguistics, language interpretation and translation,
language concordance, medical language education pedagogy, and mass
communication of health information with linguistically diverse
populations. Throughout the text, detailed chapters present solutions
and strategies with the potential to improve the health and healthcare
of linguistically diverse populations worldwide.

In an increasingly multilingual, global society, language has become a
critical area of interest for advancing public health and healthcare.
The Handbook of Language in Public Health and Healthcare:

Helps professionals integrate language-appropriate communication in
healthcare settings
Addresses clinician-patient communication, assessment, research, and
mass public health communication
Offers key theoretical insights that inform the intersection of
language, public health, and healthcare
Highlights how various approaches in the field of linguistics have
enriched public health and healthcare practices
The Handbook of Language in Public Health and Healthcare is essential
reading for undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional students of
applied linguistics, health communication, and medicine. It is also an
invaluable reference for language educators, clinicians, medical
educators, linguists, health policy experts, and researchers.
