| technology assessment, biomedical | Evaluation of biomedical technology in relation to cost, efficacy, utilization, etc., and its future impact on social, ethical, and legal systems. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| environmental assessment | (EA) A public document that analyzes a proposed federal action for the possibility of significant environmental impacts. The analysis is required by NEPA. If the environmental impacts will be significant, the federal agency must then prepare an environmental impact statement. (05 Dec 1998) |
| united states office of technology assessment | An office established to help congress participate and plan for the consequences of uses of technology. It provides information on both the beneficial and adverse effects of technological applications. (12 Dec 1998) |
| absolute risk | <statistics> The excess risk due to exposure to a specific hazard (disease, injury, etc.) (15 Jan 1998) |
| acceptable risk | <statistics> This relates to the potential for suffering disease or injury that will be tolerated by an individual, group, or society in exchange for the benefits of using a substance or process that will cause such disease or injury. Acceptability of risk depends on scientific data, social, economic, and political factors, and on the perceived benefits arising from a chemical or process that creates the risk in question. (15 Jan 1998) |
| attributable risk | The rate of a disease or other outcome in exposed individuals that can be attributed to the exposure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac risk | A term to describe overall risk of developing heart disease (blockage of the coronary arteries). Typical risk factors include: diabetes, high blood pressure, prior heart attack, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking and a family history for heart attacks in parents or siblings. (27 Sep 1997) |
| recurrence risk | In medical genetics, the recurrence risk is the chance that a genetic (inherited) disease present in the family will recur in that family and affect another person (or persons). It is the chance of lightning striking twice (or thrice, etc.). (12 Dec 1998) |
| glaucoma, risk factors | If you belong to a high-risk group for glaucoma, have your eyes examined through dilated pupils every 2 years by an eye care professional. High-risk groups include everyone with a family history of glaucoma, everyone over the age of 60 and any Black over the age of 40. (Among Blacks, studies show that glaucoma is: 5 times more likely to occur in Blacks than in Whites and about 4 times more likely to cause blindness in Blacks than in Whites). (12 Dec 1998) |
| relative risk | <epidemiology> The proportion of diseased people amongst those exposed to the relevant risk factor divided by the proportion of diseased people amongst those not exposed to the risk factor. This should be used in those cohort studies where those with and without disease are followed to observe which individuals become diseased. (05 Dec 1998) |
| risk | The probability that an event will occur. It encompasses a variety of measures of the probability of a generally unfavorable outcome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| risk benefit | An analysis of risk versus benefit is a complex assessment that must be made by a physician prior to the administration of a particular form of drug therapy. Since many medications may have side effects that can be harmful (during the course of treatment), the overall risk of a particular form of drug therapy must be weighed against the overall threat of the untreated disease process (or treatment with an altenative drug). (27 Sep 1997) |
| risk factor | <statistics> A clearly defined occurrence or characteristic that has been associated with the increased rate of a subsequently occurring disease. (14 Oct 1997) |
| risk factors | An aspect of personal behaviour or lifestyle, environmental exposure, or inborn or inherited characteristic, which, on the basis of epidemiologic evidence, is known to be associated with a health-related condition considered important to prevent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| risk management | The process of minimizing risk to an organization by developing systems to identify and analyze potential hazards to prevent accidents, injuries, and other adverse occurrences, and by attempting to handle events and incidents which do occur in such a manner that their effect and cost are minimised. Effective risk management has its greatest benefits in application to insurance in order to avert or minimise financial liability. (12 Dec 1998) |
| risk assessment |
The identification and quantification of the risk resulting from a specific use or occurrence of a chemical, taking into account the possible harmful effects on individual people or society of using the chemical in the amount and manner proposed and all the possible routes of exposure. Quantification ideally requires the establishment of dose-effect and dose-response relationships in likely target individuals and populations.

| risk assessment |
A determination of the risks to human health and the environment posed by contamination at a site. Risks are calculated using exposure factors, which provide numerical values for "exposures", such as ingestion of arsenic or inhalation of benzene. Risk Assessments may be conducted before or after site cleanup occurs; may look at risks to people, plants or animals; and may calculate risk as a specific value (point estimate) or a range of values (distribution).

| risk assessment |
An evaluation of risk which estimates the relationship between exposure to a harmful substance and the likelihood that harm will result from that exposure. Risk assessments are generally expressed as the estimated chance per million that a person, exposed over some period of time (eg a 70 year lifetime) and some specified concentration of exposure, will experience a certain effect.
