The academic field of health communication has developed rapidly over the last few decades. Researchers have studied both mass communication and interpersonal communication, developing a wealth of information that shows exactly how communicative skills and health relate to one another and how we can find ways to improve both. These articles explore how advertising, interpersonal skill development and other forms of communication can affect physical health.
