Risk Assessment and Risk Communication Strategies in Bioterrorism Preparedness (Hardcover, 3., Erw. Aufl.)

The 2001 anthrax incident in the United States inspired a worldwide increase in bioterror readiness among public health and law enforcement professionals. Resources are being allocated to a variety of potential threats, from the reintroduction of smallpox to the possibility of new genetically-engineered pathogens. Despite the potentially devastating consequences, it remains remarkably difficult to quantify risk. Risk assessment is crucial to the appropriate allocation of resources for research and preparedness.This book includes articles from leading experts in the various disciplines associated with risk assessment and risk communication associated with bioterrorism. These papers are based on presentations at a NATO Advanced Research Workshop in Israel in June 2005, which adressed these issues.
