Doctors At Risk: A Problem As Viewed By Decision Analysis, Leonard P. Caccamo, Kimbroe J. Carter, Barbara A. Erickson, William R. Johnson, Edward Kessler
Doctors At Risk: A Problem As Viewed By Decision Analysis, Leonard P. Caccamo, Kimbroe J. Carter, Barbara A. Erickson, William R. Johnson, Edward Kessler
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors closely analyze a case in which a Peer Review Organization cited a physician for treatment with potential for significant adverse effect. They also critique the regulatory scheme under which peer review occurs and conclude that such regulation interferes with physicians' primary obligations, fails to encourage cost-effective behavior and may decrease the quality of medical care.
Risk Perception And Drug Safety Evaluation, Ilan B. Vertinsky, Donald A. Wehrung
Risk Perception And Drug Safety Evaluation, Ilan B. Vertinsky, Donald A. Wehrung
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors present a Risk communication framework based on a survey of empirical research concerning public Risk perceptions. They also apply it to the area of pharmaceutical regulation to suggest more effective regulatory strategies.
Risk Assessment For Developmental Toxicity: Airborne Occupational Exposure To Ethanol And Iodine, Donald R. Mattison
Risk Assessment For Developmental Toxicity: Airborne Occupational Exposure To Ethanol And Iodine, Donald R. Mattison
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dean Mattison explains hazard identification, hazard characterization and exposure characterization as furnishing a foundation for Risk assessment generally. He then illustrates their application in assessing the fetal Risk posed by two common substances. Ultimately, he argues that only after Risks have been so examined can women of child bearing age (or anyone) decide what if any measures are appropriate to avoid them.

Book Reviews, Thomas G. Field Jr.
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Reviews of the following two books: VALUING HEALTH Risks. COSTS, AND BENEFITS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DECISION MAKING (P. Brett Hammond and Rob Coppock, eds.) THE LIABILITY MAZE: THE IMPACT OF LIABILITY LAW ON SAFETY AND INNOVATION (Peter W. Huber And Robert E. Litan, eds.)
Fertile Women May Now Apply: Fetal Protection Policies After Johnson Controls, Barbara Ruhe Grumet
Fertile Women May Now Apply: Fetal Protection Policies After Johnson Controls, Barbara Ruhe Grumet
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
In its recent interpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the U.S. Supreme Court leaves little room for permissible occupational sex discrimination. However, its decision has wider implications. Here, Professor Grumet takes a look at some of them from both a legal and a social perspective, including matters such as employees' reproductive freedom and employers' potential liability for a variety of possible injuries to employees' offspring.
Amalgam Fillings: Do Dental Patients Have A Right To Informed Consent, Michael A. Royal
Amalgam Fillings: Do Dental Patients Have A Right To Informed Consent, Michael A. Royal
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Recent animal studies have shown significant mercury absorption from dental fillings and resulted in unfavorable media attention. Yet, an FDA advisory committee has found no evidence of Risk to dental patients, and many dentists believe that patients are being unnecessarily alarmed. The paper reviews the history of amalgam fillings through the recent animal studies and concludes that the Risk, whatever it may prove to be, is sufficiently high to warrant permitting patients to choose between amalgam and alternative dental filling materials.

Book Review, John M. Gleason
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Review of the following book: ROBERT THOMPSON, JR., SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND EMPLOYEE REHABILITATION (BNA Books 1990) [485 pp.] Appendices, bibliography, index, table of cases. LC-90-2629; ISBN 0-87179-649-X
Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part Ii), Ross D. Petty
Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part Ii), Ross D. Petty
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
In this part, Professor Petty examines bicycle Risk in detail, comparing the accomplishments of the CPSC's bicycle standard with market forces resulting in, e.g., the development and use of hardshell bicycle helmets. Moreover, he briefly discusses the role of tort liability in managing Risk. Ultimately he concludes that, in the case of bicycle safety, regulation has failed to be as effective as other forces tending to reduce bicycle injuries. [Part I appears at 77.]
Pharmaceutical Risk And The Quality Of Life, Beat Hiltbrunner, Andreas Breitsprecher
Pharmaceutical Risk And The Quality Of Life, Beat Hiltbrunner, Andreas Breitsprecher
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Quality-of-life research is briefly described and said to be in its infancy. However, the authors observe that such studies may, e.g., make it possible to better match patients and therapies. They also predict that, as scientific difficulties are overcome, the pharmaceutical industry will become more active in planning, implementing and evaluating such research.
Predictive Probabilities In Employee Drug-Testing, John M. Gleason, Darold T. Barnum
Predictive Probabilities In Employee Drug-Testing, John M. Gleason, Darold T. Barnum
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Substance abuse in the U.S. has been estimated to cost $99 billion annually through lower productivity. Yet the authors urge caution in attempting to reduce these costs and health and safety Risks. In doing so, they cite commonly high frequencies of false negatives and false positives in employee drug tests - the latter having the potential to do great injustice to many drug-free employees.
Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part I), Ross D. Petty
Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part I), Ross D. Petty
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
This part of the article describes events leading to the creation of the Consumer Product Safety Commission - and the on-going debate between those who believe safety regulation is necessary and those who believe that market forces can achieve acceptable levels of Risk. The author also sets the stage for a detailed examination of bicycle Risk. In the next issue, he compares the accomplishments of the CPSC's bicycle standard with, e.g., the development and use of hard-shell bicycle helmets. Moreover, he discusses the role of tort liability in managing Risk and ultimately concludes that, in the case of bicycle safety, …

An Empirical Analysis Of The Medical Informed Consent Doctrine: Search For A Standard Of Disclosure, Jon F. Merz
An Empirical Analysis Of The Medical Informed Consent Doctrine: Search For A Standard Of Disclosure, Jon F. Merz
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Informed consent and its conceptual equivalents, e.g., right-to-know, are increasingly important. The author discusses the development of the informed consent doctrine in tort cases and attempts to evaluate the consistency of its application. He concludes that it is difficult to separate that which must be disclosed from that which need not be. He also argues that much remains to be done in achieving the objectives of the informed consent doctrine.
