Abstract

First, this paper provides a concept for identifying when low uptake, hesitancy, silence, or nonadherence might be framed too quickly as failures in individual understanding. Second, it offers preliminary analytical codes that can be applied to research papers, intervention materials, and policy documents to detect when programs default on education; however, structural, organizational, and trust-related barriers remain insufficiently examined. Third, it helps to redistribute explanatory accountability across individuals, institutions, and systems, thereby supporting a more reflexive design for communication, participation, and policy interventions in health promotion.
