Having, maintaining, and/or obtaining good health is one of the most 
frequently mentioned desires that people have. Although genetic and 
environmental factors play an important role in these lifestyles and 
diseases, it is also known that health-related information that people 
are exposed to through a variety of modalities and sources has a huge 
impact on people’s health, health behaviours, and their acceptance of 
health-related policies, as recently demonstrated by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The handbook of /Health, Media, and Communication/ presents a timely and 
up-to-date overview of the broad and substantial research efforts that 
have been invested in recent decades to understand how health 
communication affects health knowledge, perceptions, and discussion as 
well as health behaviours and, ultimately, health outcomes. The handbook 
is structured to reflect and address essential parts of the 
communication process: sender, content, medium, and recipient. In 
addition to providing a historical and contemporary overview, the 
handbook also acknowledges the novel challenges that emergent media 
present for health communication, such as infodemics and misinformation.

  * Covers all components of the communication process: sender, content,
    medium, receiver.
  * Historical, contemporary & future viewpoint on the role of media &
    communication for health.
  * Relevant for research & practice, also beyond the domain of health.
