This course is an introduction to health communication. Health communication is relevant for virtually every aspect of health and well-being, including disease prevention, health promotion and quality of life. This course is designed to help participants learn about the relation of communication processes to health; an awareness of one’s own attitudes, values, beliefs, and assumptions about health and disease; developing health communication interventions; and how diversity influences health outcomes and health care interactions.
