I was taught that fear appeals didn't work but we used them anyways in our state health department work. This book explains what we instinctively knew -- that fear appeals work and they work well given the right conditions. I like the theory in the book and the worksheets.
This book contains much valuable information for understanding risks and understanding how to get others to understand their risks. I am very pleased with the practicality of the theory behind the book and have found it useful in my crisis communication work.
This book is a wonderful, practice resource for international development staff. Intuitively appealing, it gives good advice on campaign materials development. Most appropriate for non-researchers; great for field staff.
This is one of the few special books I kept after finishing my Masters degree in Public Health- I keep it in my office now and I use it at least a few times each week. Very well written and incredibly helpful guide!
This book is currently my favorite book because of its simplicity and clarity. I am a health educator and always want to do things "right," but could honestly not figure out how to apply professors' articles to my daily work. Finally! This book is just what I've been looking for.
This is a great book. It is easy to understand and use. We need more guides like this.
New ideas for behaviour change specialists. Quite a lovely book.
