'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.
“风险”是与健康、医疗保健和医学相关的文献中广泛使用的概念。近几十年来，出现了三类以“风险”为主要关注点的文献：健康风险评估、风险方法以及风险分析/评估/管理。这些文献忽视了当代社会科学中的重要概念和理论发展。它们还缺乏概念上的连贯性。要减少不连贯性，就需要根据社会科学的发展，从风险的语言和逻辑两方面重新审视风险认识论。
