Abstract in brief
- Overdiagnosis occurs when a condition is identified and labeled in a population, leading to interventions that may not provide more benefits than harms, and is considered problematic when the harms outweigh the benefits.
- Ethically, overdiagnosis involves assessing the extent of harm, whether these harms can be avoided, and if the primary motivations behind diagnoses are to benefit individuals or society, distinguishing between different types like avoidable or unavoidable overdiagnosis.
- Key challenges include establishing fair procedures to determine harms and benefits, clarifying responsibilities among individuals and organizations, ensuring justice in how burdens are shared, and communicating risks without causing unnecessary fear or harm to those unknowingly affected.]
