Abstract

There has been a significant amount of research looking at the issue of displaying statistical data to the general public. Much of this work has been in the area of presenting risk data. Despite a significant amount of research, many organizations still fail to utilize this research when presenting this information in web-based tools and applications. This paper reviews a specific effort to apply this research knowledge to the design of a specific tool for displaying risk data to the general public.
