The purpose of this session is to explore alternative ways of thinking about risk communication in an effort to spark new research that will be responsive to the increasingly complex safety demands of the new millennium in a rapidly shrinking world. To accomplish these objectives, we have assembled a group of international scholars and practitioners who have published and/or worked extensively in the general topic area. One feature of this panel discussion session that is unique is that each participant will present data relevant to a particular set of risk communication issues in their respective countries. A synopsis of this work is outlined in the summary that follows.
