The Development of Conceptual Models for Mass-Gathering Health[1]
Summary
A conceptual paper arguing that mass-gathering research had been dominated by single-event descriptive reports and needed theory and a research template. It proposes understanding mass-gathering health as the interrelationship of three domains — biomedical, environmental, and psychosocial — whose key features combine to produce the patient presentation rate and shape the health-plan response. It introduces "latent potential for injury and illness" as a biomedical precursor state for assessing risk.
So what
Gives planners a structured way to think about why presentations occur — biomedical, environmental, and psychosocial drivers together — rather than reasoning from a single past event, supporting more deliberate risk assessment.
Key findings
- Proposes biomedical, environmental, and psychosocial domains for mass-gathering health.
- Domain features combine to produce the patient presentation rate and health plan.
- Introduces "latent potential for injury and illness" as a precursor risk state.
