Preventing non-communicable disease and promoting health: research to inform ethical public health action

我是一名受过公共卫生培训的社会科学家。在公共卫生领域，人们经常会问：有多少人受到这种疾病的影响？-或者--什么干预措施有效？我们还需要开始问：什么是正确的做法，我们如何判断？我将学习预防和健康促进的实践，以及外行人如何管理自己的健康。我将利用由此产生的证据，与利益相关者一起，开发解决伦理问题的新方法，并确保干预措施在伦理上是合理的。

I am a social scientist with public health training. In public health it is routine to ask: How many people are affected by that disease? – or – What interventions work? We also need to begin asking: What is the right thing to do, and how can we tell? I will study the practice of prevention and health promotion, and how lay people manage their health. I will use the resulting evidence, with stakeholders, to develop new approaches to ethical problems, and ensure that interventions can be ethically justified.
