Summary:
"Our goal in this edition of Communicating About Health: Current Issues and Perspectives is to provide a manageable way of understanding the complex array of factors (both new and longstanding) that affect health. Along the way, we share the latest research and give voice to the stories of many different people. We believe you will find this to be an insightful, rich, and thorough overview of health communication. Our wish is that readers come away with a sophisticated knowledge of current issues, a real-life appreciation of the human side of health care and advocacy, and practical strategies for communicating more effectively and ethically about health"-- Provided by publisher.
