Risiken innerhalb der Medizin sind nicht bloß durch objektivierbare Eigenschaften von Therapien fassbar, sondern in erheblichem Maße durch individuelle und gesellschaftliche Werte geprägt. Individuen streben gleichermaßen nach Freiheit und Sicherheit – im medizinischen Kontext wird dem durch partizipative Entscheidungsmodelle einerseits und Verschärfungen der Regularien im Arzneimittelsektor andererseits Rechnung getragen. Die mediale Berichterstattung über Risiken im Gesundheitsbereich findet im Spannungsfeld zwischen Aufklärung und wirtschaftlichen Interessen statt, was insbesondere eine rationale Diskussion über unerwartete Risiken (z.B. in der Naturheilkunde) erschwert. Es gilt daher eine Informationskultur zu schaffen, die es erlaubt, echte von weniger ausgeprägten Risiken zu unterscheiden.
Medical risks can be assessed by objectifiable therapeutic features; however, these risks are also characterised to a considerable degree by individual and social values. People tend to strive towards both freedom as well as safety; in a medical context, these two aims are taken into account by shared decision-making models and by stricter regulations in the pharmaceutical sector. Media reports on medical risks are caught between providing information and economic interests, and this conflict particularly complicates rational discussions about unexpected risks (for instance, in the field of natural medicine). Thus, it is necessary to create the type of information culture which allows differentiating between real and less pronounced risks.
