Key result
Joint risk assessment simulation boosts practitioner risk understanding by ~1.5 points on a 5-point scale.
Why the study?
Limitations in interministerial role division and information sharing were identified during the 2025 Brucella canis outbreak response, highlighting the need for practical improvements in One Health collaboration through joint risk assessment simulation exercises.
A joint risk assessment simulation exercise significantly improved interministerial practitioners' understanding of risk assessment and perception of collaboration for zoonotic disease outbreaks.
May inform interagency training for zoonotic outbreaks; leaves open whether exercises improve objective response outcomes.
Objectives: outbreaks. It also sought to propose practical improvements for the One Health collaboration system through simulation exercises using the joint risk assessment (JRA) tool. Methods: cases and social issues in April and August 2025. The effectiveness of the exercise was evaluated using pre- and post-surveys (on a 5-point Likert scale) to assess changes in the participants' understanding of risk assessment and perceptions of collaboration. Results: Participants' subjective understanding of risk assessment improved significantly, from an average score of 2.47 to 3.94 points. The "perception of the importance of interministerial collaboration" received the highest score (4.56 points). While participants gained experience in mediating conflicts between the social impact of pet-borne zoonoses and quarantine priorities, they reported a high cognitive burden during when formulating qualitative justifications for risk characterization. Conclusions: requires systems capable of reconciling interdepartmental differences in risk perception and supporting consensus-based decision-making. The findings suggest that the JRA tool, can serve as practical instruments for strengthening collaborative responses.

이 et al. (2026) studied Zoonotic disease response (Brucella canis) (n=34). Joint risk assessment (JRA) simulation exercise vs. Pre-training baseline was evaluated on Subjective understanding of risk assessment (5-point Likert scale). A joint risk assessment simulation exercise improved practitioners' subjective understanding of risk assessment from an average score of 2.47 to 3.94 on a 5-point scale.
