The pandemic has been complicated by problems with disseminating relevant information, helping people recognize key ris…
The Role of Uncertainty and Negative Emotion in Chinese Parents’ Self-Medication of Children with Antibiotics
Parents self-medicating their children with antibiotics (SMA) without consulting healthcare professionals is a common practice in China. Previous research has focused primarily on examining the socioeconomic factors that contribute to the prevalence of SMA. This study adopts and extends the theory of planned behavior to understand the cognitive and emotional factors that are associated with parental SMA in China. The responses to an online survey…

Acculturation and Health Literacy Among Chinese Speakers in the USA with Limited English Proficiency
Our Future Arrived
The world is getting into a new phase in history. For the first time, humans are verbally communicating and developing meaningful relationships with non-living objects. AI is a wormhole to open a gateway to the new world, and the COVID-19 pandemic prepared the world to transform its system to be an open system that responds to, communicates with, and utilizes the remnants coming out of the wormhole of the new world. Now, we urgently need to creat…
Communicative Development and Diffusion of Humanoid AI Robots for the Post-Pandemic Health Care System
As humanoid robot technology, anthropomorphized by artificial intelligence (AI), has rapidly advanced to introduce more human-resembling automated robots that can communicate, interact, and work like humans, we have begun to expect active interactions with Humanoid AI Robots (HAIRs) in the near future. Coupled with the HAIR technology development, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered our interest in using health care robots with many substantial advan…
The role of strategic communication to respond effectively to pandemics
Health communication is a crucial social process for responding to devastating pandemics, which demand timely, accurate, and culturally sensitive communication that meaningfully informs coordinated and effective responses. The current coronavirus pandemic has not been responded to well in many parts of the world due, in large part, to ineffective communication, resulting in high rates of infection, death, and suffering. This article examines the …

A content analysis of depression-related discourses on Sina Weibo
The dominance of individual-level attributions and solutions regarding depression on Chinese social media on one hand manifests the public's limited understanding of depression and on the other hand, may further constrain adoption of scientific explanations about depression and exacerbate stigmatization towards depressed individuals. Mass media's posts centered on description of severe outcomes of depression without suggestions of solutions' effe…
