Abstract
El artículo que presentamos es una reflexión sobre la incertidumbre social que gira en torno a la Gripe A y las consecuencias que puede generar en las decisiones sobre las políticas de promoción de salud. Utilizamos conceptos y metáforas de la Teoría de la Elección Racional, entre ellas el “efecto ingratitud” y “el efecto desconfianza” y analizamos cómo estas pueden constituir obstáculos para la eficacia de las políticas preventivas. Posteriormente, nos centramos en la asimetría informacional de la relación agente-principal y proponemos medidas para disminuir el “riesgo moral” que ocasionan. Por último, avanzamos algunas propuestas para el diseño de líneas y estrategias de actuación en políticas de promoción de salud.
This article is a reflection on the social uncertainty caused by Influenza A and on the consequences that it can have on decision making in health promotion policies. We use concepts and metaphors of the Rational Choice Theory, among them, the “ingratitude effect” or the “distrust effect”, as we analyse how these can become obstacles for the efficiency of prevention policies. Then, we focus on the information asymmetry of the principal-agent relationship, and we propose measures to diminish the “moral risk” that they cause. We finish by advancing some proposals for designing lines and strategies of action in health promotion policies.
