--Communication Booknotes With the steady rise in drug abuse, AIDS,
and heart disease, those who devise health communication campaigns
have been forced to become more aggressive and efficient in their
agendas to promote health and prevent disease. This unique volume
investigates the organizational dimensions of health campaigns,
bringing together campaign experts and leading management
scientists. How do organizations--universities, television and
radio networks, advertising agencies, voluntary groups, advocacy
and community organizations, and federal agencies--collaborate to
make a campaign successful? How do organizational dynamics or
structures influence campaign outcomes? Six case studies of some of
the most visible campaigns in the last 20 years detail the history,

campaigns. Each case is followed by a commentary from a management
expert. Readers will learn to better inspire, design, implement,
and evaluate campaigns in various health areas by considering
organizational factors. This extensive and accessible volume will
be of interest to scholars, students, and professionals in media
studies, public opinion, public health, community policy, health
education, policy issues, and social work.
