PAPER SESSION: Clarifying Concepts, Refining Research: Insights on Health Communication Theories and Constructs (Patterson Ballroom A-B) Chair: Karen Roper, University of Kentucky 4. Beyond Definitions: Beginning to Understand the Labeling Effects of “Disparities,” “Inequalities,” and “Inequities”5. The Effects of Message and Community Characteristics on Medical Crowdfunding Inequality: A Multilevel InvestigationPANEL SESSION: Language and Health: Considerations for Health Communication in Linguistically Diverse Contexts (Patterson Ballroom C) Effective health communication in increasingly multilingual global societies requires understanding of how language—that is, the linguistic preferences and abilities of individuals and populations, clinicians, and health care systems—influences health outcomes. Yet despite long traditions of mass media for health promotion, the theoretical mechanisms and empirical evidence for the effectiveness of such approaches, and the ways in which modern media contexts contribute to poor health outcomes, a significant limitation in this scholarship is (lack of) attention to the growing linguistic diversity of modern societies. The presentations in this panel together present an argument for the need to expand theorizing at the intersection of media and health, and to consider the ways in which linguistic minority audiences experience and are influenced by health information from the media.

While CBPR spans multiple academic disciplines and approaches, it shares important features with the culture-centered approach (CCA), a theoretical framework squarely based in health communication, as both are invested in the continuum of community-engagement. CBPR entails communities’ equal involvement as partners in research at every stage of the process. Researchers in this panel will share their experiences and perspectives, focusing on unpacking the role of communication, both practically and methodologically, in the CBPR conceptual framework.

Communication-and-Resolution Programs (CRPs) are systematic, communication between providers, patients, families, and administrators to conduct adverse event review interviews and perform reconciliation meetings. The interdisciplinary panel will use their experience working in a CRP to talk about future opportunities for communication collaboration with medical, nursing, and allied health practitioners. The interactive panel will conclude with questions and dialogue with the audience. Chair ◆ Heather J. Carmack, PhD, Mayo Clinic Panelists ◆ Heather J.
