Leaflets, information sheets and written materials designed to influence people's health-related behaviours often fail to achieve their aims. To improve such written materials we need to understand: (i) how people read and process information, (ii) how to make written text easy to use, (iii) how to design persuasive messages and (iv) what changes help people to adopt and maintain new behaviour patterns. Writing Health Communication: An Evidence-Based Guide is a practical guide to producing effective written materials. The book presents easy-to-understand, evidence-based guidance on providing information, presenting persuasive messages and promoting behaviour change. Topics include: Designing easy to use text, using graphics, identifying antecedents of behaviour change, selecting behaviour change techniques, use of fear appeals, message framing, tailoring messages. Each chapter is illustrated with examples, including both good and bad practice and covering a range of health topics. For students and professionals in healthcare, health psychology, health education and promotion, and public health, Writing Health Communication: An evidence-based guide is an invaluable guide to best practice
