Risk Communication: A Handbook for Communicating Environmental, Safety, and Health Risks
Regina Lundgren and Andrea McMakin (’99, M.A. Communication)
3rd Edition, Battelle Press, Columbus, Ohio, 2004
How do you alert people about a flu vaccine shortage without panicking them? How do you prepare to hold a safety meeting when workers are actively hostile? Which visual forms are best for showing the differences among cancer treatments? Risk Communication answers these and other questions for people who communicate or teach about health, safety, and environmental risks. Previous editions of the book are being used in more than 20 countries by businesses, government agencies, and universities. This third edition updates readers on emergency risk communication, technology tools, community stigma, and alternative dispute resolution.
