However, current efforts to improve our success in achieving public understanding of our most important and pertinent conclusions, and in communicating the \u2018risks\u2019 associated with low or moderate exposures to ionising radiation indicate the realisation that we have not been similarly successful in our interactions with the general public. We may be getting close to having exhausted our examples, comparisons, and metaphors. We realise that effective communication in radiological protection necessitates more than the transfer of information to the audience. Rather than concentrating solely on the source, the speaker, we also need to take into account the receiver, the audience. In addition to optimising speaker and presentation attributes, effective communication needs to address barriers to listening as well. We propose for the community\u2019s communication strategies to develop and include tools which allow us to communicate across a wide range of individual needs, attitudes, and interests in the audience. Effective communication in radiological protection needs to be tailored to the individuals in the audience to open channels for our transfer of information; it needs to \u2018catch\u2019 and \u2018capture\u2019 the audience for active listening. We first need to justify to the audience \u2018why\u2019 they should consider \u2018our facts,\u2019 before we can expect them to trust our recommendations on \u2018how\u2019 to respond to a given situation. Symbols and narratives then can help with the retention of the information received by the audience.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6498\/ab5d9b","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,29]],"date-time":"2019-11-29T18:15:27Z","timestamp":1575051327000},"page":"327-336","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["\u2018Why\u2019 transforms information transfer into effective communication in radiological protection"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8133-718X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander","family":"Brandl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manfred","family":"Tschurlovits","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"jrpab5d9bbib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1097\/HP.0000000000000998","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Communicating radiation risks: the power of planned, persuasive messaging","volume":"116","author":"Wieder","year":"2019","journal-title":"Health Phys."},{"key":"jrpab5d9bbib2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"440","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6498\/aa9e5c","type":"journal-article","article-title":"IRPA consultation: is the system of protection \u2018fit for purpose\u2019 and can it be readily communicated?
