On Monday, July 25, 2024, ASTHO and the National Alliance for Radiation Readiness (NARR) hosted a webinar focused on insights into radiation training for first responders and other audiences. Dr. Angela Leek of SummitET discussed how mental models and understanding of radiation and its risks can influence first responder actions in a radiological emergency. The takeaways from this webinar and insights into this research are poised to inform comprehension of how responders think about radiation and risk to guide the development of improved training protocols and enhanced preparedness of those on the ground.
