Communicating
about risks to public health
Department of Health 1997
This publication is designed to assist in the identification of public
health issues which may create difficulties in communicating health risks,
to provide guidance in risk strategies and to allow for alternative analysis
and sources of assistance. The problem of “perceived trustworthiness” of
sources of information is discussed as is the need to be clear about
objectives for any communication of health risks. Risk communication is
considered in terms of research findings and as a decision process. A
checklist of key points is provided.
Communicating risk in a soundbite Science Media Centre
A guide for scientists, doctors and engineers preparing for a broadcast
interview, the results of a meeting between top scientists and
journalists in July 2002. They assessed the best ways to explain risks via
the broadcast media, and suggested a whole host of examples. It is not meant
to be a definitive “best practice” guide – it simply offers a choice of
effective ways of answering questions about safety and risk. Note that the
guide is intended for use in situations where risks are perceived to be much
higher than they actually are. It is not intended to help cover up
significant risks or threats to public health.
