Leaflets, information sheets and written materials designed to influence people's health-related behaviours often fail to achieve their aims.

For students and professionals in healthcare, health psychology, health education and promotion, and public health, Writing for Health Communication: An Evidence-Based Guide for Professionals is an invaluable guide to best practice. |
