Short description: EXTRACT: Today, organisations acknowledge the fundamental contribution that perception and communication have to risk management, and Public health practitioners are expected to take a holistic approach; and to understand the needs of the community; communicate with individuals and groups properly; and successfully involve the public in any relevant risk assessment. This work aims to provide public health specialists and practitioners with a simple tool to assist in the management of public concerns that arise in relation to potential environmental hazards.
