Purpose

Because of rapid globalization of society and because of progress in technological innovations, problems related to global environment issues, lifestyle diseases, community health, occupational health, medical accidents, food product safety, international health, mental health and health issues from aging population are on the rise. Whilst we all recognize the importance of the practice of risk management sciences for prevention of those problems, it is essential to integrate interdisciplinary research in such fields as political economics, administration studies, sociology, environmental science, ecology, behavioral science, information science, education, ethics, epidemiology and statistics, not just to develop technologies to implement government policies and countermeasures.

And, 'Health Risk Management in Latin America' is one of the most important keywords in medical and health sciences, since health risks are different from other parts of the world, due to the different lifestyle and socio-economical status. Drug abuse is one of the common health risks due to lifestyle. Lifestyle is a custom behavior, and the control of lifestyle behavior is one of the most important tools in risk management for preventive medicine.

This Conference, therefore, seeks to promote risk management sciences for health problems and those in Latin America, specially related to drug abuse protection based on socio-economical and behavioral aspects.
