Sustaining Surveillance: The Importance of Information for Public Health[electronic resource] /by John G. Francis, Leslie P. Francis. - 1st ed. 2021. - X, 224 p. 1 illus.online resource. - Public Health Ethics Analysis,62211-6680 ;. - Public Health Ethics Analysis,4.

CHAPTER ONE: Surveillance Today and Tomorrow -- CHAPTER TWO: Autonomy, Consent, and Privacy -- CHAPTER THREE: Risk, Precautionary Principles, and Paternalism -- CHAPTER FOUR: New Data, New Purposes, New Actors, and Justice in Data Use -- CHAPTER FIVE: Transparency, Oversight, and Accountability for Data Use -- CHAPTER SIX: Reciprocal Obligations in Data Use. .

This book presents a comprehensive theory of the ethics and political philosophy of public health surveillance based on reciprocal obligations among surveillers, those under surveillance, and others potentially affected by surveillance practices. Public health surveillance aims to identify emerging health trends, population health trends, treatment efficacy, and methods of health promotion--all apparently laudatory goals. Nonetheless, as with anti-terrorism surveillance, public health surveillance raises complex questions about privacy, political liberty, and justice both of and in data use. Individuals and groups can be chilled in their personal lives, stigmatized or threatened, and used for the benefit of others when health information is wrongfully collected or used. Transparency and openness about data use, public involvement in decisions, and just distribution of the benefits of surveillance are core elements in the justification of surveillance practices. Understanding health surveillance practices, the concerns it raises, and how to respond to them is critical not only to ethical and trustworthy but also to publicly acceptable and ultimately sustainable surveillance practices. The book is of interest to scholars and practitioners of the ethics and politics of public health, bioethics, privacy and data technology, and health policy. These issues are ever more pressing in pandemic times, where misinformation can travel quickly and suspicions about disease spread, treatment efficacy, and vaccine safety can have devastating public health effects.
