Health Risk Communication

Health Risk Communication is the process of sharing information about health risks—such as diseases, environmental hazards, or medical conditions—in a way that helps people understand the nature and level of the risk. Its goal is to inform and guide individuals and communities to make informed decisions about their health and safety. This involves clear, accurate messaging tailored to different audiences, addressing concerns, and providing practical advice. Effective communication builds trust, reduces fear, and encourages appropriate actions to prevent or manage health risks.
