Public Health and Policy: Introduction


Medical and health information is often complex and too technical for the general public to understand. Advances in medical and health information may also conflict with long-held personal or social beliefs. As a result, the potential exists for misdirecting or alienating certain populations. Policy and public health information must be written to inform, influence, and motivate institutional or public audiences. A biomedical writer could be employed to produce public health and policy documents that:

  • increase awareness of a health issue, problem, or solution
  • affect attitudes to create support for individual or group action
  • demonstrate demand or need for health services or products
  • remind or reinforce knowledge, attitudes, or behavior
