Abstract

A comprehensive and realistic assessment of impacts of health threats and health security actions is essential for any reasoned health security decision. However, the uncertainty that is present in the context of every health security decision poses a core challenge that must be considered in such assessments. Here we present how we can adequately assess both the impacts of health threats, and of the decision alternatives for improving health security. We suggest a decision-focused modeling of these impacts, which can foster a better understanding of the decision situation and promote a systematic analysis of consequences under uncertainty.
