Risk communication

The goal is to make sure that targeted audiences understand how risks affect them or their communities by appealing to their values.

[5] Similarly, in pandemic prevention, understanding of risk helps communities stop the spread of disease and improve responses.

Some of the most well-studied areas of risk communication are climate change, nutrition, and natural disasters like floods.

[11] In the modern day, most people in groups get their information from the internet before anything else, so the sending of risk communication messages has methodologically changed.

In a 2015 study, risk communication to people who had family members with dementia took place, and a model was developed that heavily features shared decision-making processes.

[13] Risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) is a method that draws heavily on volunteers, frontline personnel and on people without prior training in this area.

[19] When someone is irritated by a risk communication message, it is likely that their "gut feeling" is impacted, leading to a possible misunderstanding of the situation.

[20] Unlike other risk communication areas, there is not a definite unambiguous relationship between the intake of food and the effect on the human body.
