Anxiety is an unpleasant and common problem and many people attend their doctors asking for help. There are very effective medicines for reducing anxiety, but in humans and animals anxiety seems to involve noticing and escaping from danger so may be a useful characteristic.I have already completed a study which showed that the less anxious half of a large group of British school children suffered many more accidents and fatal accidents in their young adult lives than the more anxious half of the group. This is the first scientific work showing that anxiety is useful for people.I plan to follow on from this work, looking at different, larger groups of people from different countries, whose anxiety was measured in different ways at different stages in their lives. I hope to find out more about the some of the useful and harmful things about anxiety, working towards a better understanding so that in the future doctors can be confident that when they reduce someone‘s anxiety with medicines they know they are really helping rather than harming that person.

焦虑是一种令人不快的常见问题，许多人去看医生寻求帮助。有非常有效的药物可以减轻焦虑，但在人类和动物中，焦虑似乎涉及到注意和逃离危险，因此可能是一个有用的特征。我已经完成了一项研究，该研究表明，在一大群英国小学生中，焦虑程度较低的那一半人在成年后遭遇的事故和致命事故要比焦虑程度较高的那一半人多得多。这是第一次科学研究表明焦虑对人有益。我打算继续这项研究，研究来自不同国家的更大的不同人群，在他们生命的不同阶段，用不同的方法测量他们的焦虑。我希望找到更多关于焦虑的有益和有害的东西，努力更好地理解，以便将来医生可以有信心，当他们用药物减少某人的焦虑时，他们知道他们真的在帮助而不是伤害那个人。
