Description
The editors of Health Communication in Africa have assembled an impressive list of scholars and practitioners to discuss some of the public health efforts and disease prevention strategies, conspicuously absent in health communication literature. A variety of subjects are addressed, including: existing and innovative health promotion programs; outcome evaluation and effectiveness studies; health communication in refugee settings and among international, national, and regional agencies that have been successfully implemented. This book will serve as a road map for those interested in the study of health communication, health promotion, and disease prevention strategies in Africa.
