An examination of the nexus of security, insecurity and health shows that security is a prerequisite for health. The many and varied ways that armed violence--including threats of armed violence--can affect people's health can be documented by formal studies; however, valuable data also exist in other reports, such as media reports. The health community needs to recognize that people's insecurity is a massive global health issue. The foreign policies of donor governments should incorporate recognition that documentation, analysis and publication of data describing the impact of insecurity on people's health can lead to the creation of policies to enhance people's security.
对安全、不安全因素与健康之间关系的审视表明,安全是健康的先决条件。武装暴力(包括武装暴力威胁)影响人们健康的方式多种多样,这些可通过正规研究进行记录;然而,其他报告(如媒体报道)中也存在有价值的数据。卫生界需要认识到,人们的不安全状况是一个重大的全球卫生问题。捐助国政府的外交政策应认识到,记录、分析和公布描述不安全因素对人们健康影响的数据,有助于制定增强人们安全的政策。
