Abstract

Surveys concerning the risk communication practices and needs of state health agencies were completed by agency commissioners and designated staff of 48 states and territories. These data indicate that agencies are expending more effort on responding to requests for information than on initiating dialogues with interested constituencies or altering the public to risk. The data also suggest a gap between the stated philosophy and practice of the agencies.
