Risk Assessment, Enacting Roles, and Presenting Epidemiological Data

Published:12 October 2021Publication History

ABSTRACT

To characterize how we can reimagine the value of professionals with “interactional expertise” who are working alongside other professionals, Graham and Mol's praxiographic approach to risk communication analysis can be useful in determining the value of including different stakeholders in hybrid forums. This is examined in the competing representations of risk in two public health dashboards used in Florida to communicate the nature of the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
