随着全球化的加剧，出现在一个国家的传染病可能会迅速传播到另一个国家，严重急性呼吸系统综合症（SARS）就是最近的一个例子。然而，尽管SARS感染了大约10，000人，导致大约1000人死亡，但它并没有导致许多人担心的破坏性健康影响，而是造成了相当不成比例的经济影响。这一影响的规模和性质不成比例，令人担心爆发更严重的疾病可能对全球经济造成灾难性影响。了解导致SARS影响的因素可能有助于应对其他传染病爆发可能造成的影响和管理。在这方面，风险的作用-风险的认知、沟通和管理-是至关重要的。本文着眼于风险的作用，特别是对风险的认识，它的沟通和管理，在驱动SARS的经济影响中发挥作用。它考虑了公众和公共卫生对SARS的反应，媒体和官方组织的作用，并提出了建立一个更好地应对下一次全球传染病爆发的系统的政策和研究优先事项。它的结论是，潜在的传染病的快速传播不一定是一个更大的威胁比它一直是，但疫情可能对经济的影响，这需要进一步的研究和政策制定。
With increased globalisation comes the likelihood that infectious disease appearing in one country will spread rapidly to another, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) being a recent example. However, although SARS infected some 10,000 individuals, killing around 1000, it did not lead to the devastating health impact that many feared, but a rather disproportionate economic impact. The disproportionate scale and nature of this impact has caused concern that outbreaks of more serious disease could cause catastrophic impacts on the global economy. Understanding factors that led to the impact of SARS might help to deal with the possible impact and management of such other infectious disease outbreaks. In this respect, the role of risk—its perception, communication and management—is critical. This paper looks at the role that risk, and especially the perception of risk, its communication and management, played in driving the economic impact of SARS. It considers the public and public health response to SARS, the role of the media and official organisations, and proposes policy and research priorities for establishing a system to better deal with the next global infectious disease outbreak. It is concluded that the potential for the rapid spread of infectious disease is not necessarily a greater threat than it has always been, but the effect that an outbreak can have on the economy is, which requires further research and policy development.
