| Summary |
This book explores the benefits and obstacles of new communication technology and its relationship to health promotion. It will help readers identify audiences, contexts, and health issues for which programs and services using interactive media will lead to improved health outcomes, especially when compared to more traditional methods. The three running themes throughout the book are that good health involves physical, emotional, and functional aspects of well-being; interactive technology is the most promising medium for achieving health promotions initiatives; and changes in the health care market offer new opportunities for using information and communication technology |
