COM 516 - Survey of Health Communication Catalog Year: 2019-2020
This course focuses on theoretical and applied features of health communication. The class will consider a variety of health factors, theories, conceptual frameworks, methodological techniques, and implementation strategies that can be used to inform and influence individuals, families and communities. Three health-problem areas will be highly emphasized: (1) substance (e.g., alcohol, tobacco, drug) abuse prevention and treatment (2) obesity prevention and weight-related issues, and (3) community health issues (e.g., suicide, AIDS, violence). Interpersonal perspective, social (cultural & organizational) contexts, influences of technologies and media, and health promotion & campaigns compose the integral perspectives used when visiting each emphasized health-problem area.
