__Abstract__
\n
\nFor patients and their carers, information seeking and processing is an integral part
\nof managing disease or coping with a health condition. The nature and content of
\nthat information may vary widely; from general medical knowledge, to practical
\ndetails on diagnosis and treatment options and to very specific questions addressing
\nown concerns. Healthcare professionals have been perceived and e}..\'Pected to
\nfunction as the main information resource for patients, as well as for their families
\nand caregivers. More formally, the process of information provision by healthcare
\nprofessionals has become known as health or patient education [ 1]. The term
\nhealth education however, has been most often connected with interventions that
\ntarget a particular behavior change, for the purposes of preventing the onset or the
\ncomplications of a disease or condition. Patient education on the other hand, has
\nbeen primarily concerned with providing patients and their caregivers with the
\nnecessary information and skills to better manage an existing disease or condition.
\nIt is this latter type of information provision activities that are the focus of this
\nthesis
