This edited volume offers an accessible avenue for improving health and well-being by demonstrating the power of narrative in advocating for yourself, your family, and your community. Leading scholars of health communication draw on a variety of perspectives, theories, and methodologies and incorporate their own personal experiences of narratives to demonstrate the compelling reasons why narratives should be studied and applied in a wide range of health contexts. Each chapter contains future directions for advancing research and applying narratives to encourage readers to explore what narratives for health mean for themselves and others.
