      abstract = {Health threats pose significant dangers to humankind and  form a major source of human suffering and sorrow.  Responsible leadership and reasoned decision making can  significantly improve the arenas that are affected by  health threats, through establishing a better allocation of  very scarce resources for building health capabilities and  for increasing health preparedness, responsiveness and  resilience. This book examines how public health leaders  can use the cutting-edge research from Decision Sciences to  better manage emerging and re-emerging health threats, with  a focus on enhancing health security. While these decisions  must be informed by the best available evidence, they must  also address competing priorities and key uncertainties and  must mitigate critical risks, albeit in a cost-effective  manner which seeks to maximize societal value. This is a  book about how decisions on health security can be  improved, both in terms of the content that is utilized in  a health decision analysis and the decision processes that  are employed in reaching a decision. This decision-focused  perspective can help public health leaders and public  health experts to increase the health preparedness of  health systems, the task of which involves improving health  capabilities, increasing the robustness of health systems  against health threats, as well as strengthening health  resilience and the responsiveness of these systems against  disease outbreaks.},
