One of the greatest challenges facing those concerned with health
and environmental risks is how to carry on a useful public dialogue
on these subjects. In a democracy, it is the public that ultimately
makes the key decisions on how these risks will be controlled. The
stakes are too high for us not to do our very best. The importance
of this subject is what led the Task Force on Environmental Cancer
and Heart and Lung Disease to establish an Interagency Group on
Public Education and Communication. This volume captures the
essence of the "Workshop on the Role of Government in Health Risk
Communication and Public Education" held in January 1987. It also
includes some valuable appendixes with practical guides to risk
communication. As such, it is an important building block in the
effort to improve our collective ability to carry on this critical
public dialogue. Lee M. Thomas Administrator, U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency, and Chairman, The Task Force on Environmental
Cancer and Heart and Lung Disease Preface The Task Force on
Environmental Cancer and Heart and Lung Disease is an interagency
group established by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 (P.L.
95-95). Congress mandated the Task Force to recommend research to
determine the relationship between environmental pollutants and
human disease and to recommend research aimed at reduc ing the
incidence of environment-related disease. The Task Force's Project
Group on Public Education and Communication focuses on education as
a means of reducing or preventing disease."
