To support informed decision-making, we developed and pilot-tested a decision support intervention consisting of a patient decision aid and non-directive decision coaching led by a trained health professional. We developed a training program to prepare healthcare professionals to implement the intervention. To assess the decisional needs of unvaccinated individuals, a literature review and a focus group with community health workers were conducted. The results informed the development of the intervention and the associated training for health professionals, which were then tested regarding their comprehensibility, feasibility, and acceptance. Fourteen health professionals completed a 540-minute training and participated in guided focus groups. The decision support intervention was subsequently tested with laypeople through guided interviews. Data were analyzed via qualitative content analysis. The training was feasible and well accepted, and the competencies to provide decision coaching were acquired. The decision coaching offer was tested in two real and seven simulated sessions. The patient decision aid, comprising an evidence-based COVID-19 information sheet and a decision guidance, was comprehensible and highly accepted by all participants. While the intervention proved feasible, access to vulnerable groups and their willingness to participate remained low.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144553752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As we mark this milestone and honor the Journal's legacy, we must also confront the pressing challenges that define the current landscape of health communication. We live in an era where scientific reasoning is increasingly questioned by policymakers, patients, and the public alike. The institutions that have traditionally upheld evidence-based practice have lost trust, respect and authority. In this evolving context, health communication cannot remain a static field. In the decades ahead, the Journal must take an active and unapologetic stance-maintaining the highest ethics while driving innovation in digital health communication, scientific methodology, data interpretation and translation for better uptake. Its mission must be to accelerate measurable global health gains by advancing communication strategies that not only inform, but inspire trust, foster agency, and empower individuals and populations to make evidence-based choices they willingly and confidently adopt.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144325970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted small group online focus groups and in-depth interviews with 28 Washington teens (13-17 years-old) about their perceptions of cannabis edible product packages, such as gummies and pretzels, and analyzed the data using thematic analysis. We found that many teens perceived cannabis packages to be appealing because of their aesthetics such as bright colors and the pictures on the package, as well as the lifestyles the products promoted. Additionally, we identified that teens with greater cannabis knowledge and product literacy were more skeptical of the cannabis product packages. Our findings have implications for health educators and policymakers. Efforts to include teen perspectives in the regulatory process could be beneficial, and prevention specialists may want to focus efforts on improving teens' cannabis knowledge and product literacy to empower them to be more critical of cannabis product packaging.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144325971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since their implementation in the United States in 1964, the appearance of these warnings has evolved as research surrounding them has grown. However, improved cigarette warning labels are needed in order to accelerate smoking quit rates and reduce smoking-attributable deaths. The Message Impact Framework describes the mechanisms through which such warnings influence attention, attitudes, knowledge, and intentions to quit smoking, which can ultimately lead to behavioral change. This framework has been used to advance tobacco regulatory research regarding cigarette warning labels; however, studies surrounding warning messages demonstrate how messaging influences smokers but are limited in how variability among smokers (e.g. cultural perspectives) can influence warning message interpretation. If cigarette warning labels are not sufficiently framed to account for diversity within the smoking population, they may not reach their intended audiences or have their intended effects. Rather than treating smokers as a monolith, this review draws on research to demonstrate the need for marketing segmentation of smokers. Such information can then be leveraged to update the Message Impact Framework and develop more targeted cigarette warning labels.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"219-228"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143966851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The complexity of vaccine production and distribution parallel to constant political negotiations on a global level created an opaque and confusing system seedbed for misinformation, which decreased the trust in public management and authorities as the vaccination discussions became embedded in both local and global politics. In this study, we contrast the anti-vaxxers and the vaccine-hesitant people's attitudes toward the local aspects of vaccination. We compare these groups' main narratives in two key vaccine-related topics - locality and authority. Based on our analysis, anti-vaxxer comments are nonpolitical or differentiate national politics from global aspects of COVID-19 vaccination. On the contrary, vaccine-hesitant discourses are highly contextual and dependent on the continuous changing of the conditions. The east-west political narrative has severely impacted both non-anti-vaxxer and vaccine-hesitant groups and contributed to increased vaccination hesitancy in Hungary.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"200-208"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143969980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

English-proficient, Latino-identifying adult participants living in the Midwest of the United States (n = 189) were randomly assigned to one of the two narratives about a family's struggles during COVID-19.

This study examined the bi-directional nature of campaign receptivity and campaign-targeted beliefs (i.e. anti-industry, social movement, independence). Further, this study explored the relationship between campaign-targeted beliefs and campaign-targeted outcomes (i.e. tobacco behavior and intentions not to use). Data were drawn from the Truth Longitudinal Cohort, a nationally representative, probability-based cohort which includes youth and young adults (N = 3,771; 15-24 years). Campaign receptivity and campaign-targeted beliefs were measured at Times 1-4, while campaign-targeted outcomes were measured at Time 5. Findings indicate that a one unit increase in campaign receptivity is associated with an average increase of .94, .82, and .61 points in social movement, independence, and anti-industry beliefs, respectively. Analyses also revealed that for each unit increase in social movement and anti-industry beliefs, respondents' any current tobacco use declined by 0.06 and 0.08 points. Moreover, for each unit increase in social movement and independence beliefs, respondents' intentions not to use cigarettes/e-cigarettes increased by .12 and .10 points, respectively.
