Zusammenfassung:Among strategies for effectively delivering high-quality health care, communication may be the most vital. Health communication plays a key role in informing, motivating, and ultimately achieving optimal health behaviors. The Oxford Handbook of Health Communication, Behavior Change, and Treatment Adherence brings together leading scientists and clinicians to review current research and clinical developments in this important area. The volume provides a synthesis of cutting-edge empirical research and demonstrably effective applications that are solidly grounded in theory. Its organizing framework is a three-factor model that includes information, motivation, and strategy. For individuals to engage in health-promoting behaviors they must be informed-they must know what to do. But information is not enough-they must also desire to carry out those behaviors. Finally, they must have the resources to be able to do the things that they recognize as good and that they are motivated to achieve. These three elements are widely applicable but their details vary. Thus, the book also addresses these three components in the context of age, sociocultural factors, and comorbidities.
