  Information request  TO:        ALL COUNTY ROAD COMMISSION ENGINEERS   DATE:    SEPTEMBER 21, 2011  SUBJ:     RISK COMMUNICATION SURVEY  
 From: Patrick Cassidy [mailto:pcassidy@elzly.com]  Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 2:39 PM To: pcassidy@elzly.com Subject: Risk Communication in Traffic Safety
  
 Sir/Madam,
  
 I am an engineer working with FHWA on several safety related transportation projects. However, I send you this email because I am trying to help a colleague and doctoral student complete her dissertation (by next Friday!) in a field that relates to all of us.  Please read below.  Thank you for your time and help.
  
 &#8220;To Whom it May Concern:
  
 I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Maryland, studying Risk Communication.  More specifically I am studying how and why experts and laypeople process information about and evaluate risks differently.  Traffic safety is one of two risks I will be highlighting as part of my dissertation research, and I am seeking people who work in the traffic safety field to complete a brief (approximately ten minute) questionnaire.  
  
 I hope that you might be willing to participate and pass the link to the survey on to colleagues who might also be willing to provide insight from a traffic safety point of view.  Your participation will not only help me finish my degree but, through helping me access the opinions of a difficult to reach and thus typically ignored population of experts, provide valuable insight into the development of message strategies that will more effectively target changes in risk perception in the area of traffic safety.    The questionnaire can be completed online at the following web address:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/risk_communication    Thank you in advance for your time and insight!   Sincerely,   Sarah Evans Doctoral Candidate, Persuasion and Social Influence University of Maryland&#8221;
