| Resumen |
The problems inherent in defining, perceiving and estimating risk are discussed to provide guidance in risk analysis. Theoretical discussions are combined with actual analysis, in risk-benefit terms, of cases involving saccharin, nuclear power plants, automobile safety, radiation exposure, nuclear copper mining, mass chest radiography, skull fracture diagnosis, coronary artery surgery, and swine influenza immunisation. Risk assessment is a technical function requiring statistical analysis of data and should be separate from decision making on policy issues. |
