“…Throughout the past decade, the Journal of Health Communication has been a committed partner in our efforts to disseminate research based on HINTS data. Two special issues of the journal have been dedicated to summarizing key findings derived from HINTS data resources showcasing a breadth of research topics including disparities in health communication (Geiger et al, 2010; Kobetz et al, 2010; Langford, Resnicow, & An, 2010; Nguyen & Bellamy, 2006; Oh et al, 2010; Tortolero-Luna et al, 2010; Vanderpool & Huang, 2010; Viswanath et al, 2006; Zhao, 2010), health communication in health care delivery (Chou, Wang, Finney Rutten, Moser, & Hesse, 2010; Ciampa, Osborn, Peterson, & Rothman, 2010; Hou & Shim, 2010; Ling, Klein, & Dang, 2006; Marks, Ok, Joung, & Allegrante, 2010; Rutten, Augustson, & Wanke, 2006; Shim, Kelly, & Hornik, 2006; Smith, Wolf, & von Wagner, 2010), health information seeking (Hesse et al, 2006; Rutten, Squiers, & Hesse, 2006; Squiers et al, 2006), cancer prevention behavior and health communication (Ford, Coups, & Hay, 2006; Ling et al, 2006; Shim et al, 2006), perceptions of cancer risk (Ford et al, 2006; Han, Moser, & Klein, 2006; Zajac, Klein, & McCaul, 2006), mediated health communication (Clayman, Manganello, Viswanath, Hesse, & Arora, 2010; Kaufman, Augustson, Davis, & Finney Rutten, 2010; Kealey & Berkman, 2010; Koch-Weser, Bradshaw, Gualtieri, & Gallagher, 2010; Kontos, Emmons, Puleo, & Viswanath, 2010) and health survey methodology (McBride & Cantor, 2010; Peytchev, Ridenhour, & Krotki, 2010). In addition to the special issues, the journal has published several other peer-reviewed articles focused on HINTS analyses further demonstrating their commitment to this important program of research (Cheong, Feeley, & Servoss, 2007; Hesse et al, 2011; Koshiol, Rutten, Moser, & Hesse, 2009; Manganello & Clayman, 2011; McQueen, Vernon, Meissner, & Rakowski, 2008; Niederdeppe, Frosch, & Hornik, 2008; Ok, Marks, & Allegrante, 2008; Rains, 2007; Thompson et al, 2011; Ye, 2011).…”
