(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.

(5) Literature

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.
