Aggregating Judgments to Inform Precautionary Decision-making. 330 $aPublic health policy prospectively and retrospectively addresses the consequences of events ranging from the commonplace to the catastrophic. Informing policymakers and stakeholders by enhancing their understanding of complex causation to justify remedial or precautionary actions is a critical science-policy task. In this book, the key aspects of catastrophes (regardless of their nature) and routine events are identified through a common framework for their analyses, and the analyses of the consequences associated with the potential occurrence of these events also are discussed. The book is not about disaster planning; instead, it is focused on analysis and causation in the context of informing ? rather than formulating ? public health policy. The author aggregates and fuses scientific information and knowledge in public health policy-science using alternative but complementary methods. The book first focuses on the analysis of catastrophes and commonplace events; the focus then shifts to causal models of multifactorial diseases, particularly at low doses or dose-rates, associated with these events. Topics explored among the chapters include: Policy and Legal Aspects of Precautionary Choices Catastrophes, Disasters, and Calamities: Concepts for Their Assessment Uncertainty: Probabilistic and Statistical Aspects Aggregating Judgments to Inform Precautionary Decision-making The aim of the book is to show that the analyses of events are fundamentally similar, regardless of whether the concern is a global catastrophe or commonplace. Analysis of Catastrophes and Their Public Health Consequences is a text that should engage students, instructors, and researchers in public health, science policy, and preparedness research, as well as serve as a useful resource for policy analysts, practitioners, and risk managers. 606 $aPublic health 606 $aSociology?Research 606 $aClimate change 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aPublic Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27002 606 $aResearch Methodology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22190 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aEpidemiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H63000 606 $aCatàstrofes naturals$2thub 606 $aCatàstrofes meteorològiques$2thub 606 $aSalut pública$2thub 606 $aPolítica sanitària$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aPublic health. 615 0$aSociology?Research. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 14$aPublic Health. 615 24$aResearch Methodology. 615 24$aClimate Change. 615 24$aEpidemiology. 615 7$aCatàstrofes naturals 615 7$aCatàstrofes meteorològiques 615 7$aSalut pública 615 7$aPolítica sanitària 676 $a362.1 676 $a362.1 700 $aRicci$b Paolo F$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0770902 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411940203321 996 $aAnalysis of Catastrophes and Their Public Health Consequences$92212245 997 $aUNINA
