Date: July 06 to July 10, 2005 in Monte Verita - Switzerland - Tailoring
Health Messages: Bridging the Gap between Social and Humanistic Perspectives
on Health Communication <http://www.theme.usilu.net/> Description With the
epidemic of chronic diseases caused by habitual unhealthy behaviors,
tailoring health messages - individualizing health information on the large
scale - has demonstrated great potential to meet each persons unique needs. 
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. Keywords: Public Health, Academies and Institutes,
Communication, Health, Psychology, Sociology, Interdisciplinary Studies,
Language Literature, Medical Ethics
