The perception of risk has become in a few decades a major subject of theoretical and practical knowledge, asserting itself as a central element of risk analysis and even more currently with the emergence of a new risk, the Covid-19 epidemic/pandemic. Faced with the expertise organized by the public authorities, everyone reacts through their perception of risk, which is a subjective assessment based on their beliefs, their experience and above all on their emotions. Among these emotions, fear is the main determinant of behavior in the face of risk.At the crossroads of the social sciences of epidemiology and public health, this book aims to lay down the fundamentals, analyze their impacts and help in decision-making. It is based on the main published international works and research, concrete examples (HIV mad cow chikungunya influenza A/HINI, etc.) and a concluding chapter specifically on Covid-19. As such, it is intended for public health professionals and decision-makers, medical experts and researchers working on risks of all kinds, but also all those who wish to have knowledge of the dynamics of behavior in the face of risk.read more
