Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Public Health Communication, Trust, and Infodemic Management examines communication as a core component of population health: not simply the transmission of information, but a structured intervention shaped by evidence, institutions, audiences, uncertainty, trust, and social context.The volume develops a systematic framework for understanding how public-health messages move from delivery and exposure to comprehension, credibility, behaviour, and ultimately health outcomes-while emphasizing that each step requires distinct evidence and should not be assumed to follow automatically.Across thirteen chapters, the book addresses communication architecture, behavioural and social mechanisms, risk and crisis communication, misinformation and infodemic management, institutional trust, polarization and identity, health literacy and numeracy, audience segmentation, community engagement, narrative and framing, media ecosystems, and communication measurement.Particular attention is given to the responsible communication of risk and uncertainty, the distinction between guidance and causal evidence, the evaluation of communication outcomes, and the ethical boundaries between information, persuasion, and manipulation. Conceptual diagrams, analytical frameworks, and practical evaluation principles support a decision-oriented approach throughout.Part of the Elements of Population Health series, this volume offers an interdisciplinary framework for researchers, public-health professionals, policymakers, communicators, and advanced students seeking to understand how communication can be designed, evaluated, and governed within complex health systems.
