Riskinhyötyarviointi, or risk-benefit assessment, is a systematic process used to evaluate the potential benefits and harms of a particular intervention, policy, or product. It is widely used in various fields, including medicine, public health, environmental science, and engineering, to inform decision-making and ensure that the benefits outweigh the risks.
The process typically involves several key steps:
1. Identification of the intervention or activity being evaluated.
2. Collection and analysis of data on the potential benefits and harms.
3. Comparison of the benefits and risks, often using quantitative methods such as cost-benefit analysis or qualitative
4. Consideration of other factors, such as ethical implications and societal values.
5. Documentation of the findings and recommendations.
Risk-benefit assessments are crucial for ensuring that decisions are made in a transparent and evidence-based manner.
