La diversité des risques sanitaires - médicaments, maladies infectieuses transmissibles, maladies vectorielles, pollutions environnementales, risque d'attentat - complexifie leur surveillance. Qui plus est, l'incertitude inhérente à des émergences et les controverses scientifiques rendent les situations difficiles à interpréter surtout quand les signaux sont faibles. Face à ces menaces protéiformes, surprenantes et souvent insidieuses, l'inquiétude des citoyens est palpable aussi bien à l'échelle d'un établissement de santé que de la Nation. Et pourtant, l'efficacité de la réaction de la société dépend de l'implication de chacun et de chacune. C'est pourquoi il a semblé important aux auteurs de partager leur expérience de gestion des alertes et des crises dans ce glossaire thématique s'adressant aussi bien aux professionnels, aux collectivités, aux étudiants qu'aux citoyens. L'ouvrage aborde, en les vulgarisant grâce à des définitions contextualisées, les principales notions de la veille et de la sécurité sanitaire et de la gestion des situations sanitaires exceptionnelles. Il devrait permettre aux acteurs de s'approprier des concepts qui leur permettront de participer efficacement à la gestion des prochaines crises sanitaires. La collection « Les mots de la santé publique » est composée de glossaires thématiques permettant d'aborder, sous un angle pédagogique et avec un éclairage contextualisé, les notions fondamentales de la santé publique.

Bioterrorism is not a new threat, but in an increasingly interconnected world, the potential for catastrophic outcomes is greater today than ever. The medical and public health communities are establishing biosurveillance systems designed to proactively monitor populations for possible disease outbreaks as a first line of defense. The ideal biosurveillance system should identify trends not visible to individual physicians and clinicians in near-real time. Many of these systems use statistical algorithms to look for anomalies and to trigger epidemiologic investigation, quantification, localization and outbreak management. This book discusses the design and evaluation of statistical methods for effective biosurveillance for readers with minimal statistical training. Weaving public health and statistics together, it presents basic and more advanced methods, with a focus on empirically demonstrating added value. Although the emphasis is on epidemiologic and syndromic surveillance, the statistical methods can be applied to a broad class of public health surveillance problems.
