Health Communication in the 21st Century Bewertungen

Health Communication in the 21st Century is highly accessible and easy to understand for undergraduate readers who may be new to the field of health communication.

It works equally well for communication majors, students in the health care professions, and students in other major fields of study. It provides ample vivid examples and real-life cases to illustrate complex health communication theories and concepts. (PsycCRITIQUES, March 2009)
