About
Each Perception Paper offers a dive into a fundamental question:
How does the way we see health shape the way we live it?
The Perception Papers are published annually at the end of each year and offer an accessible synthesis of emerging ideas in public understanding and health communication. Each invites readers to reflect on how information shapes health behavior.
The Perception Papers are a series of analytical, modern writings that explore how information and communication influence the way we perceive health. They combine a brief narrative with research-driven clarity to examine the hidden forces that shape perception, behavior, and health in the modern world.
Rather than focusing on data or outcomes, these papers investigate the mental frameworks that guide how people interpret health information, evaluate risk, make choices, and form beliefs. They highlight why communication matters, and why clarity, credibility, and creativity are essential for building a healthier, more informed future.
I
Paper I, "The Influence of Information on Human Health," examines how the modern information environment impacts individual and collective health, exploring how narratives, visuals, and messages influence risk perception, daily choices, and long-term behavior. Drawing on insights from communication science, psychology, and public health, it explains why the quality of information matters as much as the quantity, and why understanding these dynamics is essential for creating healthier and more informed societies.
II
Paper II, "Turning Science Into Story" investigates the critical role of storytelling in modern health communication, analyzing how creators interpret scientific evidence, transform it into accessible narratives, and shape public understanding across digital and social platforms. By exploring the balance between accuracy and emotional clarity, it highlights how responsible storytelling can bridge the gap between scientific discovery and real-world impact, and why creators are indispensable partners in advancing health literacy.
