      abstract = {This book will be of great value to health practitioners  and policy-makers, researchers and students. Chapters  showcase a range of theoretical approaches to health  communication skilfully linked by the editors Introductory  and Concluding chapters. Together they provide the basis  for a theoretical toolkit for the development of actionable  understandings of the processes through which abstract  scientific knowledge is communicated to real people in real  contexts and the social and psychological factors that  mediate the success of a communication. It presents a  compelling vision of an approach that is deeply rooted in  African scholarship.
