Public health research is essential for the development of effective policies and planning to address health security and risks associated with mass gatherings (MGs). Crucial research topics related to MGs and their effects on global health security are discussed in this review. The research agenda for MGs consists of a framework of five major public health research directions that address issues related to reducing the risk of public health emergencies during MGs; restricting the occurrence of non-communicable and communicable diseases; minimisation of the effect of public health events associated with MGs; optimisation of the medical services and treatment of diseases during MGs; and development and application of modern public health measures. Implementation of the proposed research topics would be expected to provide benefits over the medium to long term in planning for MGs.
公共卫生研究对于制定有效的政策和规划以应对与大规模集会(MGs)相关的健康安全和风险至关重要。本综述讨论了与 MGs 及其对全球健康安全影响相关的关键研究主题。MGs 的研究议程包括一个由五个主要公共卫生研究方向组成的框架,这些方向涉及在 MGs 期间降低公共卫生突发事件风险、限制非传染性和传染性疾病发生、最大限度减少与 MGs 相关的公共卫生事件影响、优化 MGs 期间的医疗服务和疾病治疗、以及开发和应用现代公共卫生措施等问题。预计实施这些拟议的研究主题将在中长期规划 MGs 方面带来好处。
