Synopsis

The Routledge Handbook of Health Communication and Popular Culture offers rich insights into the ways in which communication about health through popular culture can become a part of healing, wellness, and health-related decisions. This Handbook allows readers to understand and consider messages that inform and influence health-related choices through pop culture in the public sphere. Written in an accessible narrative style and including interdisciplinary, global, and diverse perspectives, a vast team of contributing authors from the field explores the intersections between health communication and popular culture. The Handbook is divided into five parts: Framing of Health-Related Issues in Popular Culture; Exploring Popular Culture Influences on Health Behaviors and Beliefs; Considering Pro-Social Public Health Interventions in Popular Culture; Understanding Health Issues in Popular Culture from Diverse Perspectives; and Pop Culture and Health Communication: Looks to the Future. The Handbook will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of Communication Studies, Health Communication, Public Health Policy, Media Literacy, and Cultural Studies.
