Should We Risk It?: Exploring Environmental, Health, and Technological Problem Solving
Chronic disease, homeland security, and sailing to where there be dragons [Guest editor's introduction]
The five papers in this special issue share the perspective that attitudes toward risk are strongly shaped by social context, and that understanding context can help us understand how risk decisions are made, and thereby how to make them better
The effect of uncertainty on ‘risk rationalizing’ decisions
The forms and contexts in which risk analytical methods can provide useful inputs to policy decisions remains an open question. This paper assesses the role of uncertainty in costeffectiveness estimation using the example of life-saving interventions available to regulators in the United States, as calculated by Tengs et al. (Risk Analysis 15(3), 369–90, 1995). It identifies ‘equally plausible’ values for those interventions, based on alternative…
Should We Risk It: Exploring Environmental, Health, and Technological Problem Solving
How dangerous is smoking? What are the risks of nuclear power or of climate change? What are the chances of dying on an airplane? More importantly, how do we use this information once we have it? The demand for risk analysts who are able to answer such questions has grown exponentially in recent years. Yet programs to train these analysts have not kept pace. In this book, Daniel Kammen and David Hassenzahl address that problem. They draw together…
