Abstract
In Brief Interpersonal health communication can affect individuals'awareness, knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, skills, and commitment to behavior change. Personalizing and involving people in their own care facilitates sustained behavior change. Health communication cannot compensate for inadequate health care or inadequate access to health care services nor produce sustained change in complex health behaviors without some type of support network. Health care providers working with people who have limited resources and education sometimes make the erroneous assumption that these individuals cannot adequately comprehend self-care practice recommendations.
