‘This book will be of great value to health practitioners and policy-makers, researchers and students. Chapters showcase a range of theoretical approaches to health communication skilfully linked by the editors’ Introductory and Concluding chapters. Together they provide the basis for a theoretical toolkit for the development of actionable understandings of the processes through which abstract scientific knowledge is communicated to real people in real contexts – and the social and psychological factors that mediate the success of a communication. It presents a compelling vision of an approach that is deeply rooted in African scholarship.’ — Catherine Campbell, Emeritus Professor of Social Psychology, Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK Bankole Falade is a research fellow with the South African Research Chair in Science Communication, Stellenbosch University, South Africa and Visiting Fellow, Department of Psychological and Behavioural Sciences, London School of Economics and Political Science, United Kingdom.

Mercy Murire is a Senior researcher at the Wits Reproductive Health Institute (WRHI) and a researcher at University of Witwatersrand with the school of clinical medicine.
