Assembles the most important theories in the field of health communication in one comprehensive volume, designed for students and practitioners alike

Health Communication Theory is the first book to bring together the theoretical frameworks used in the study and practice of creating, sending, and receiving messages relating to health processes and health care delivery. This timely volume provides easy access to the key theoretical foundations on which health communication theory and practice are based. Students and future practitioners are taught how to design theoretically-grounded research, interventions, and campaigns, while established scholars are presented with new and developing theoretical frameworks to apply to their work.

Divided into three parts, the volume first provides a summary and history of the field, followed by an overview of the essential theories and concepts of health communication, such as Problematic Integration Theory and the Cultural Variance Model. Part Two focuses on interpersonal communication and family interaction theories, provider-patient interaction frameworks, and public relations and organizational theories. The final part of the volume centers on theories relevant to information processing and cognition, affective impact, behavior, message effects, and socio-psychology and sociology. Edited by two internationally-recognized experts with extensive editorial and scholarly experience, this first-of-its-kind volume:

  • Provides original chapters written by a group of global scholars working in health communication theory
  • Covers theories unique to interpersonal and organizational contexts, and to health campaigns and media issues
  • Emphasizes the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of health communication research
  • Includes overviews of basic health communication theory and application
  • Features commentary on future directions in health communication theory
