Working on Health Communication by Nova Corcoran

Responding to this demand, Working on Health Communication provides a practical guide to the process of designing, implementing and evaluating campaigns.

The book follows the campaign design process step-by-step. It covers every stage from selecting theoretical models and identifying the message and target audience, right through to running the campaign and evaluating its success. Real-life examples of actual campaigns are used throughout to show how theoretical ideas work in practice.
