Risk communication is a field of study that deals with the exchange of information about hazards, risks, and uncertainties between experts, organizations, and the general public. It aims to help people make informed decisions about potential risks and take appropriate actions to reduce them. Risk communication research examines how to effectively communicate complex scientific information, uncertainties, and potential consequences of different actions in a way that is clear, transparent, and trustworthy. It also explores strategies for increasing public understanding and trust in risk information, as well as for promoting behavior change to mitigate risks. Ultimately, the goal of risk communication is to empower individuals and communities to make informed choices that protect their health, safety, and well-being.
