Talking to friends, family, or peers about health issues might, among other things, increase knowledge of social norms and feelings of self-efficacy in adopting a healthier lifestyle. We often see interpersonal health communication as an important mediating factor in the effects of health campaigns on health behavior. No research has been done so far, however, on factors that influence whether and how people talk about health issues without being exposed to a health campaign first. In this exploratory study, we interviewed 12 participants about their communication behavior concerning six different health themes, like smoking and exercising. The results suggest that at least four types of interpersonal health communication can be distinguished, each influenced by different factors, like conversational partner and objective of the conversation. Future research should take this diversity of interpersonal health communication into account, and focus on designing health campaigns that aim to trigger dialogue within target populations.
与朋友、家人或同龄人谈论健康问题，除其他方面外，可能会增加对社会规范的了解以及采取更健康生活方式的自我效能感。我们常常将人际健康沟通视为健康运动对健康行为产生影响的一个重要中介因素。然而，到目前为止，尚未有关于在未首先接触健康运动的情况下影响人们是否以及如何谈论健康问题的因素的研究。在这项探索性研究中，我们采访了12名参与者，了解他们关于六个不同健康主题（如吸烟和锻炼）的沟通行为。结果表明，至少可以区分出四种人际健康沟通类型，每种类型受不同因素影响，如谈话对象和谈话目的。未来的研究应考虑到人际健康沟通的这种多样性，并专注于设计旨在引发目标人群内部对话的健康运动。
