The articles collected here are foundational contributions to
integrating behavioural research and risk analysis. They include
seminal articles on three essential challenges. One is ensuring
effective two-way communication between technical experts and the
lay public, so that risk analyses address lay concerns and provide
useful information to people who need it. The second is ensuring
that analyses make realistic assumptions about human behaviours
that affect risk levels (e.g., how people use pharmaceuticals,
operate equipment, or respond to evacuation orders). The third is
ensuring that analyses recognize the strengths and weaknesses of
experts' understanding, using experts' knowledge, while
understanding its limits. The articles include overviews of the
science, essays on the role of risk in society, and applications to
domains as diverse as environment, medicine, terrorism, human
rights, chemicals, pandemics, vaccination, HIV/AIDS,
xenotransplantation, sexual assault, energy, and climate change.
The work involves collaborations among scientists from many
disciplines, working with practitioners to produce and convey the
knowledge needed help people make better risk decisions.
