“风险”是与健康、保健和医学相关的文献中广泛使用的概念。近几十年来,出现了三种以“风险”为主要关注焦点的文献:健康风险评估、风险方法和风险分析/评估/管理。这些文献忽略了当代社会科学中的重要概念和理论发展。它们也缺乏概念上的连贯性。减少不连贯将需要根据社会科学的发展重新审查与其语言和逻辑有关的风险认识论。
'Risk' is a widely used concept in literatures related to health, health care and medicine. In recent decades, three bodies of literature have emerged in which 'risk' is the primary focus of concern: Health Risk Appraisal, the Risk Approach and Risk Analysis/Assessment/Management. These literatures overlook important concepts and theoretical developments in contemporary social science. They also lack conceptual coherence. Reduction of incoherence will require re-examination of the epistemology of risk in relation to both its language and its logic in light of developments in social science.
