title: Health communication research and health promotion.
abstract: This paper examines the relationship between health communication research and health promotion. In doing so, it identifies a number of research questions, priorities and capacity requirements pertaining to the intersection of the two fields. It concludes by suggesting that there is a great need in Canada to find support for the development of training and research programs in health communication research in general, and with an emphasis on health promotion in particular.
