Abstract
Researchers across many disciplines (e.g., health communication, public health, health psychology, nursing) have designed and evaluated interventions to impact preventive health outcomes. Interventions have been carried out in a variety of settings, including health care facilities, schools, worksites, and via media channels. Successful approaches have been grounded in theory (e.g., the Health Belief Model), designed to address individual differences (e.g., low health literacy), and employed various message strategies (e.g., tailoring).
