However, research on users' digital health comminution on China's HIV narrative on global social media platforms, such as YouTube, remains limited. To advance the communication of health information globally, this study analyzes 255 videos and 3,184 comments (2006-2024) to explore the discourse surrounding China's HIV/AIDS prevention measures on YouTube and provide support for optimizing public health communication strategies. The research employs web scraping techniques to extract metadata and applies methods such as word cloud analysis, keyword analysis, semantic analysis, sentiment analysis, and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling. The results indicate that the main topics of public discussion focus on international cooperation, traditional medicine, and policy transparency. Semantic analysis reveals the impact of cultural factors on public perception. Sentiment analysis shows that positive sentiment is concentrated on prevention effectiveness and international cooperation, while negative sentiment focuses on policy transparency and insufficient information disclosure. The LDA analysis identifies five core themes: international cooperation, cultural factors, policy transparency, the role of traditional medicine, and the effectiveness of public health policies. The findings suggest that public perceptions of China's prevention measures are complex, highlighting the need to optimize communication strategies and improve policy transparency to enhance international recognition and support.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145668264","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}

It holds potential to enhance beneficial practices such as adherence to public health policies and general health behaviors. However, no previous study has given a comprehensive overview of existing research on CHL and its association with health behaviors. This scoping review addresses this gap by reviewing 167 articles on CHL identified through a comprehensive search strategy encompassing 11 databases. We observed significant growth in CHL research post 2019, with a high number of conceptual papers and instrument validations. Consistent with previous critiques, we also identified potential conceptual conflation. Notably, of the 167 articles, only 28 explicitly reported associations between CHL and health behaviors, most of which concerned patient populations. Among these 28 studies, the majority identified significant associations between CHL and various health behaviors, while others reported mixed results. Importantly, some indicated that CHL was associated with reduced health behaviors. This scoping review concludes that the current research landscape of CHL is broad and heterogeneous. It underscores the need for further investigation into the complex association between CHL and different health behaviors to better understand its potential in health communication and policy development.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"34-54"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145959709","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}

Interprofessional communication - how healthcare professionals interact with each other - has emerged as a modifiable factor to reduce burnout, and medical improvisation training is a promising method to enhance communication. However, few interventions have evaluated long-term improvements in communication or explored the mechanisms linking interprofessional communication to burnout reduction. To fill this gap, we conducted a long-term evaluation of a medical improvisational training program. Clinical healthcare workers (N = 175) from a tertiary teaching hospital in the United States - who participated in a medical improv-based training designed to enhance interprofessional communication - completed baseline and long-term follow-up assessments. Results showed that individual communication skills improved significantly from baseline to follow-up (p < .001). Participants also reported a significant reduction in burnout (p = .02) at follow-up. Path analysis revealed that changes in both individual communication skills and group-level communication climate were positively associated with changes in professional fulfillment, which in turn predicted burnout reduction. These findings suggest that medical improvisation training can foster sustainable enhancement in interprofessional communication skills and buffer against burnout by enhancing healthcare workers' sense of professional fulfillment. Our evaluation highlights the importance of targeting both individual and group-level communication processes to promote clinician wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"326-334"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148156860","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}

However, China's adoption of PWs on cigarette packages has been delayed, and it remains unclear which thematic categories and specific visual features within PWs would influence outcomes that are culturally sensitive in Chinese societies. Culturally sensitive outcomes (CSOs), including anticipated loss of face, intention to gift cigarettes in social settings, and intention to refrain from smoking after exposure, reflect concerns deeply embedded in Chinese social norms. Using a large set of 510 unique PWs (K = 510) randomly evaluated by 2,306 adult male smokers in China (N = 2,306), we examined which visual features predict these three CSOs. Each participant viewed six randomly presented PWs. The experimental data were merged with manually coded content features across 24 dimensions after recounting all the features and esthetic visual characteristics of each PW extracted through computer vision analysis. Multilevel regression models revealed that thematic categories, including oral health, fertility health, and cardiovascular health, as well as specific visual elements like depictions of diseased organs and medical equipment, consistently predicted all three outcomes. The effects of other features varied. Findings provide insights for designing tobacco control campaigns and implementing cigarette package warning labels in China. Our results show the importance of tailoring PWs to resonate with culturally specific concerns in tobacco control messaging, offering important implications for pictorial warnings targeting Chinese male smokers.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"244-254"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147674051","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}

Existing research largely evaluates these technologies in terms of usability, technical performance, or behavioral outcomes, with less attention paid to the communication processes that drive these outcomes. To fill this research gap, this review provides a comprehensive analysis of empirical research on conversational AI from a health communication perspective. Based on a theory-oriented integrative review of 65 studies, this study focuses on the mechanisms by which conversational AI plays a role in health interactions and the reasons for differences in communication outcomes across different contexts. This review uses a thematic synthesis approach to identify four core communication roles of conversational AI in health communication: information communicator, behavioral interventionist, emotional supporter, and service mediator. Beyond identifying these roles, the findings reveal significant differences in reported communication outcomes. To explain these differences, this study constructs a Conversational AI-Mediated Health Communication (CA-MHC) framework. This framework conceptualizes conversational AI as a mediated communication agent whose impact depends on the fit between its communication role and four dimensions of communication configuration: interaction pattern, relationship strength, temporal orientation, and institutional embedding. This study also provides a conceptual foundation for understanding when and why conversational AI can support or hinder effective health communication. Furthermore, the CA-MHC framework provides guidance for the future theoretical development and empirical research of AI-mediated health interactions.","PeriodicalId":16026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Communication","volume":" ","pages":"288-300"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148217812","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}
