The study is part of the Rural Economy and Land Use(RELU) programme.<br> <br> RELU-RISK is a multidisciplinary project which brings together natural science modelling of risks and uncertainties in the food chain with social science approaches to understanding consumer behaviours, risk communication and participatory processes. This involved the design, development and evaluation of participatory processes and tools for involving stakeholders, particularly those in rural communities, throughout the management and mitigation of a food safety issue or risk event, ensuring that full account is taken of a wide range of potential social, economic and political impacts as well as the more immediate public health related and safety issues. This was achieved through the development of a system for modelling technical risk and uncertainty using a state of the art probabilistic tool using 2D Monte Carlo and Bayesian methods to quantify variability and uncertainty. There are inputs into this process from modular food chain models and studies estimating the impact of risks on consumer behaviour, along with close interactions with the development of communication and decision support interfaces based on a mental models approach. Throughout the project stakeholder participatory process research was used both to define the interfaces needed and evaluate the outcomes from the project. Three risk case studies were used in the development and evaluation of the overall system. The data deposited arise from the research conducted on consumer behaviour.<br> <br> Further information and documentation for this study may be found through the <a href=http://relu.data-archive.ac.uk/explore-data/search-browse/project/?ID=RES-224-25-0090>RELU Knowledge Portal: Managing Food Chain Risks</a>. <br> <br> <br> <br></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>Food chain risk, participatory process, trust, consumer behaviour, stakeholder participation, risk communication, rural community, public health, decision support tool, and food safety.<br></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'> Time Period Covered:</i> January 2006 - December 2007 <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> May 2005 - December 2007 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> United Kingdom <br><i class='myclass'>Geography: </i> Guildford; Hampshire; Surrey <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> No spatial unit <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Alpha/numeric data; Individual (micro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> Subnational <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Case study 1: 133 parents of children aged 1.5 to 4.5 years old from Guildford;188 adults over 16 years old from Surrey and Hampshire.
