what do your patients want to know?
Designing effective health communications is much like planning a meal. Balance matters.
​
If information is the main ingredient, it must be appealing, easy to consume, and meet the recipient's needs.
​
From plain language to impactful design to behavior change strategies, a handout is not just a handout. Good health communications are designed for a wide range of health literacy levels. Information must be understandable, but practical too. And bridging the gap between knowing and doing requires an understanding about health behavior, intrinsic motivation, and self-efficacy.
​
