(ii) Brochures for detailed information
It is recommended to produce brochures, some tens of pages in
scale, to provide detailed information to people who have read
the leaflets described above.
The brochures may contain more detailed explanation of items
presented in the leaflets and describe the current status of
research on endocrine disruptors.
(4) Updating
Communication is not a one-time activity. The effectiveness of
information dissemination (including response to inquiries)
should be evaluated by surveys, and information needs should be
reexamined. This in turn should serve as input for appropriate
updating of information to be disseminated.

4. Recommended studies in feature
Risk communication, complete with timely addition of new
contents, should be upgraded continuously according to
recipients' response. Problems encountered in this process
should be addressed in appropriate study programs.
It is recommended to perform case studies and follow-up as the
first step in these activities.
