Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

And I felt that quite often the solutions were being drawn primarily from the physical sciences with very little thought about how publics or how people who use those tools would think about them or respond to them. And I also felt that when the public we're considered that Hollywood-esque assumptions were being made about their behavior, their appetite for risk, their perceptions of risk. And so I thought, how can we generate evidence from between members of the public, which is where we started with our work, practitioners more on the frontline and the policy makers. It's just trying to bring more reality to those plans and policies that are being made and the hope that they will trickle down into practice and into the way in which we engage with members of the public and let them engage with our processes as well.
