Dear RG Colleagues:
I invite your interest on this new text from a senior colleague at my University that fills a gap in the literature on "Health Communication: Principles and Practices."
Here's an excerpt of the book overview:
"This health communication textbook provides a comprehensive, well-researched and upto-date discussion of the local, regional and international health communication literature and provides a theoretical and practical framework for teaching health and medical communication skills. It describes, explains and applies health communication theoretical concepts and principles, and provides practical contexts for their application in the classroom and in the health professions drawing on the research literature."

Hi Debra,
Health communication is an interest area of mine. Six years ago, I asked the question of health communication an its relationship within a health promotion paradigm - as the link below. It was very much a theoretical, rather than a practical construct back at the time. Six-years on - it's good to see that full texts are being devoted to the subject - and it is becoming increasingly more visible within the social (marketing) media and health literacy literature.

Around the same time, I asked a related question about the relationship between health promotion and health education - which continues to be well read and answered. The context of health communication has also come up quite regularly within this thread as below.
