The chapters in this volume illustrate the rich opportunities to expand online health communication inquiry to examine the development and design of online cancer services, understand the ways information users communicate online, track the influences of online services on relevant health behaviors, and evaluate the information needs of cancer survivors. It offers intriguing samples of research and ideas that demonstrate the importance of an expanded applied framework for online cancer communication inquiry. The goal is to help researchers frame their inquiries to minimize the time from study conclusions to impact on the provision of online cancer services, facilitating the translation of health communication science into practice.
