From the dynamics of interpersonal communication between health
professionals and clients to global command-and-control during
public health emergencies that cross international borders, the
field of health communication bridges many disciplines and involves
efforts from the micro to the macro. It involves navigating
personal, cultural, and political complexities and an ability to
distill complex technical science into quickly and easily
understood terms for ready distribution by the mass media--or to an
individual patient or to the parent of an ailing child. Despite an
abundance of textbooks, specialized monographs, and academic
handbooks, this is the first encyclopedic reference work in this
area, covering the breadth of theory and research on health
communication, as well as their practical application. Features:
Nearly 600 original articles are organized A-to-Z within a
three-volume set to provide comprehensive coverage of this exciting
field, including such topics as theories and research traditions;
evaluation and assessment; cultural complexities; high risk and
special populations; message design and campaigns; provider/patient
interaction issues; media issues; and more. All articles were
specifically commissioned for this work, signed and authored by key
figures in the field, and conclude with cross reference links and
suggestions for further reading. Appendices include a Resource
Guide with annotated lists of classic books and articles, journals,
associations, and web sites; a Glossary of specialized terms; and a
Chronology offering an overview and history of the field. A
thematic Reader's Guide groups related articles by broad topic
areas as one handy search feature on the e-Reference platform,
which also includes a comprehensive index of search terms. This
A-to-Z three-volume reference is available in both print and online
formats and is a must-have for libraries and researchers who seek
comprehensive coverage of the theory, research, and applications of
health communication. Key Themes: Community Health Issues
