Comprehensive survey of the health communication discipline authored by top scholars in the field. A useful text for use both in graduate seminars in health communication and as a desk reference for career researchers and government and NGO health professionals.
This Handbook represents the first comprehensive collection of research on communication and people with disabilities. The editors have brought together original contributions focusing on the identity, social, and relationship adjustments faced by people with disabilities and those with whom they relate. Essays report on topics across the communication spectrum--interpersonal and relationship issues, people with disabilities in organizational settings, disability and culture, media and technologies, communication issues as they impact specific types of disabilities--and establish a future agenda for communication and disability research. Each chapter provides a state-of-the-art literature review, practical applications of the material, and keywords and discussion questions to facilitate classroom use. In providing an outlet for current research on communication and disability issues, this unique collection contributes to the lives of people with and without disabilities, helping them to improve their own communication and relationships. Intended for readers in communication, psychology, sociology, rehabilitation, social work, special education, gerontology, and related disciplines, this handbook is certain to augment further theory and research, as well as offer insights for both personal and professional relationships.
This special issue originated from a panel at the annual conference
of the International Communication Association. The articles
utilize various coding systems, including the Roter Interaction
Analysis System, Verbal Response Mode, McNeilis Coordination and
Competence System, and Relational Control Coding. This issue's goal
is to provide a resource that will make it easier for future
researchers to select a coding scheme that is most appropriate for
the purpose of a particular research project. It illuminates the
process of studying health care provider-patient interaction and
facilitates decision making for future researchers.
This text employs a communication perspective to examine the aging
process and the ability of individuals to adapt successfully to
aging. It continues the groundbreaking work of the first edition,
emphasizing a life-span approach toward understanding the social
interaction that occurs during later life. The edition provides a
comprehensive update on the existing and emerging research within
communication and aging studies and considers such topics as
notions of successful aging, positive and negative stereotypes
toward older adults, and health communication issues. It raises
awareness of the barriers facing elderly people in conversation and
the importance such conversations have in elderly people's lives.
The impact of nonrelational processes, such as hearing loss, are
considered as they impact relationships with others and affect the
ability to age successfully.

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.
