Communicating with citizens about the possible health effects of exposure to environmental contaminants offers government agencies a significant and growing challenge. Interactive risk communication requires a strong risk-feedback component. Risk feedback is a structured process whereby the agency solicits, receives, and evaluates citizen input for inclusion in a risk-management plant. Procedures for planning and managing risk feedback are presented, and these techniques are applied to a hypothetical drinking-watercontamination situation. Includes 12 references.
