      abstract     = {One way to communicate about the risks of drugs is through
                      the use of package inserts. The problems associated with
                      this medium of informing patients have been investigated by
                      several researchers who found that people require
                      information about drugs they are using, including extensive
                      risk information, and that they are willing to take this
                      information into account in their usage of drugs. But
                      empirical results also show that people easily misinterpret
                      the information given. A conceptual framework is proposed
                      that might be used for better understanding the cognitive
                      processes involved in such a type of risk assessment and
                      communication. It is based on the idea that people develop,
                      through experience, a mental model of how a drug works,
                      which effects it might produce, that contraindications have
                      to be considered, etc. This mental model is “run” when a
                      specific package insert has been read and a specific
                      question arises such as, for example, whether certain
                      symptoms can be explained as normal or whether they require
                      special attention and action. We argue that the mental model
                      approach offers a useful perspective for examining how
                      people understand package inserts, and consequently for
                      improving their content and design. The approach promises to
                      be equally useful for other aspects of risk analysis that
                      are dependent upon human judgment and decision making, e.g.,
                      threat diagnosis and human reliability analysis.},
