Abstract:

Having, maintaining, and/or obtaining good health is one of the most
frequently mentioned desires that people have. Although genetic and
environmental factors play an important role in these lifestyles and
diseases, it is also known that health-related information that people
are exposed to through a variety of modalities and sources has a huge
impact on people’s health, health behaviours, and their acceptance of
health-related policies, as recently demonstrated by the Covid-19
pandemic.
The handbook of Health, Media, and Communication presents a timely and
up-to-date overview of the broad and substantial research efforts that
have been invested in recent decades to understand how health
communication affects health knowledge, perceptions, and discussion as
well as health behaviours and, ultimately, health outcomes. The
handbook is structured to reflect and address essential parts of the
communication process: sender, content, medium, and recipient. In
addition to providing a historical and contemporary overview, the
handbook also acknowledges the novel challenges that emergent media
present for health communication, such as infodemics and
misinformation.
- Covers all components of the communication process: sender, content,
medium, receiver.
- Historical, contemporary & future viewpoint on the role of media &
communication for health.
- Relevant for research & practice, also beyond the domain of health.
