The conference will assess theoretical and practical concerns when examining the content, structure, delivery and evaluation of tailored health messages from an interdisciplinary perspective. Traditional perspectives on the subject from the behavioral sciences will be contrasted with approaches from the humanities and professional experience, including those of physicians, health care providers and media-experts. The goal is to develop a set of strategic maneuvers for guiding the efficient production of effective tailored health messages.
