TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Risk communication activities of state health agencies JO - American journal of public health A1 - Sandman, P. M. A1 - Salomone, K. L. A1 - Chess, Caron SP - 489 EP - 491 VL - 81 IS - 4 N2 - 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 alerting the public to risk. The data also suggest a gap between the stated philosophy and practice of the agencies. LA - SN - 0090-0036 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
