Research and Knowledge Transfer Centre "Media and Health Communication"

„Media and Health Communication" form a thematic area for which the Institute has developed a research programme. Health and illness are fundamental parts of living. Not least by dint of reducing provision of care, every individual is facing strong demands to look to their own health and to avoid becoming ill. To do that, they need to know appropriate information about behaviour that promotes health. The media are particularily significant in this. On one hand, illness and health are present as topics an all media, sectors and genres, and on the other, the spectrum of media offerings, which target health promotion or prevention of illness, is expanding noticeably.
