Die Artikel des Denkanstoßes „Gesundheit von morgen“ diskutieren, wie angesichts knapper Ressourcen und notwendiger Reformen das Nachhaltigkeitsziel 3 der Vereinten Nationen „Gesundheit und Wohlergehen“ erreicht werden kann. Die Artikel bilden eine große Bandbreite aktueller Themen in den Bereichen Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung ab und heben besonders die Rolle der Gesundheitskompetenz hervor. Mit Beiträgen u. a. von Annette Grüters-Kieslich, Doris Schaeffer und Klaus Hurrelmann, Christiane Woopen. Mit einer Einleitung und Empfehlungen von Detlev Ganten, Kerstin Berr, Susanne Melin und Britta Rutert.
Die Gesundheitsreform ist in aller Munde. Die Parteien streiten sich, die Verbände wollen ihre Besitztümer erhalten und das Volk ist betroffen und klagt. Die Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften (BBAW) hat in einer interdisziplinären Arbeitsgruppe "Gesundheitsstandards" seit dem Jahr 2000 eine fundamentale Studie erarbeitet, die jetzt als Buch mit dem Titel "Gesundheit nach Maß?" vorliegt.
From exclusion to inclusion : improving clinical research in vulnerable populations ; memorandum
(2014)
Therapeutic care for vulnerable populations – meaning patient groups such as underage children and the mentally ill that have limited or no capacity for giving informed consent – is severely lacking. Thus, for example, a great portion of pharmaceuticals used in the treatment of children and youth have not been specifically designed for these groups, which often results in side effects that are disproportionate to those associated with such medicines when used by adults. Moreover, vulnerable populations are at times faced with having no therapies at all for some of their ailments, such that children and dementia sufferers, for example, are often considered to be “therapeutic orphans”. It is therefore urgent that clinical research be carried out among vulnerable populations in order to improve their therapeutic possibilities. The Clinical Research on Vulnerable Populations Research Group – a cooperative effort between the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (Berlin, Germany) and the European Academy of Technology Assessment (Bad Neuenahr, Germany) – has set itself the task of analyzing the state of clinical research on vulnerable populations so as to be able to develop suggestions for improving future research of this kind. The results of this work are presented in the following memorandum, which seeks to portray the state-of-the-art in this domain while also assessing the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary ethical and medical perspectives related to it. The memorandum is primarily oriented towards those in the relevant scientific disciplines who can benefit from obtaining an informed consensus regarding the current state of the discussions taking place around this topic.
Introduction – Reflections on Concepts of Health in Their Context. Contrary to what is often believed, health is not simply an objective condition that is easily determined and measured by strict medical criteria in clinical or scientific settings. It is a multifaceted phenomenon whose perception and understanding is influenced profoundly by people’s personal experience, cultural background and social environment. Correspondingly, there is great variety in concepts and definitions of health, both today and in a historical perspective. This collection of studies examines a number of such contextual factors that influence concepts, values and practices related to health, both present and past. It also makes a number of recommendations relevant to medical professionals, politicians, patients and other healthcare stakeholders as to how healthcare systems can be improved and enriched. It advocates a holistic approach to the understanding of health and disease, which involves embracing historical and philosophical concepts in medical reasoning, learning from health practices originated in other parts of the world and establishing interdisciplinary ways of thinking in biomedical research and clinical care.
