Case Studies in Health Communication cover

This book focuses on the complexities of the communication of health-related messages and information through the use of case studies. The expert contributors to this volume are scholars who, during their research and consulting, grapple with many of the issues of concern to those studying health communication. While several introductory books offer brief case studies to illustrate concepts covered, this book provides in-depth cases that enable more advanced students to apply theory to real situations.

"...of interest to health communication students, teachers, and practitioners alike....The case studies are thought provoking and well written....this book gives students the opportunity to see how well the theory explains the cases....provides students with an opportunity to gain great insight in the communication and health care process....an interesting and well-written book. It makes a significant contribution to health communication pedagogy and to our understanding of health communication."
Health Communication

Communication Quarterly
