Vernon Press invites book chapters for an edited volume on the subject of new and innovative research in the use of narratives in health communication.
Narratives can be used as a powerful tool to deliver health messages by discussing emotions, past histories, and experiences, and providing a deeper understanding of health encounters. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential to have a better understanding of how narratives can be used in more innovative manners to improve the effectiveness of health communication.
