Call for Papers: Asian Communication Research Special Issue
“Health Communication in Asia: within, beyond, and across borders”
Asia is the most populous and largest continent on Earth. It holds countries in various stages of
economic development and political stability. Custom, culture, and religion in Asia are widely
varied from one region to another. Fast economic development during the past century that
continues to this day and rapid urbanization in the developing economies brought about threats to
environmental health in many forms. Accordingly, the state of population health and healthcare
system in Asia constitutes a wide spectrum that contains both extreme ends. This heterogeneity,
in turn, may discourage health practitioners and researchers from considering Asia as a unit in
which health policies and practices can be implemented and examined. In this call for paper,
however, we highlight the potential gains researchers and policymakers can make by putting
their research and policy agendas in the context of health promotion and health systems
enhancement in Asia. Since the second World War, many countries in Asia have accumulated
substantial knowledge and know-how in combating various health-related challenges and lent
help to solve problems in other Asian countries by offering insights and direct assistance. The
intra-continental coordination and collaboration will become more valuable and even urgent, as
more people cross borders and so do pollutants and pathogens.
Communication plays a critical role in this alliance of Asian countries working together to
exchange experiences and ideas to achieve the goal of population health in Asia. Research has
proven time and again that communication is an integral part of health promotion. For this
special issue, we ask authors to consider the multi-faceted nature of health communication
including but not limited to:
- Communication—whether face-to-face or mediated—amongst and between major
stakeholders of health care systems such as patients, health providers, communities (both
online and offline), health care administrators, health care organizations, businesses, and
governments;
- Communication as a conduit of health promotion messages and empowerment;
- Communication as an environment where health-related messages are produced,
distributed, debated and processed, resulting in intended and unintended consequences;
- Communication as a tool of new discovery related to diseases and therapies, lifestyles
affecting health, effective and efficient health care delivery and consumption, and many
others.
By embracing the definition of health advocated by the World Health Organization—a state of
complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity—, we welcome submissions that expand the boundary of health communication and
health communication research as well as those that address more traditional, core issues of
health communication. In terms of the methodological approach, we accept any mode of inquiry
that is deemed appropriate for the chosen topic. Geographically, authors may choose to focus on
one country, several countries, or transnational issues. Staying true to the inter-disciplinary
origin of both communication research and health sciences, we are looking forward to receiving
submissions by scholars from various fields such as communication, media studies, journalism,
advertising, public relations, public health, social work, psychology, sociology, education,
business, and computer science, among others. However, we will be particularly appreciative of
manuscripts in which the authors make efforts to draw a clear connection between their research
and the health and quality of life of people in Asia.
