Which of the following is a negative effect of globalization on health?
A) Diffusion of ideas
B) Expansion of trade
C) Global stewardship
D) Brain drain
Ans: D
A negative effect of globalization is the "brain drain" that results when educated society members migrate from lower-resource countries to higher-resource countries. Thus, many groups who could most benefit from increased access to information and communication technology are unable to enjoy the benefits these technologies bring to health care because of challenges with untrained personnel and lack of infrastructure and resources. Diffusion of ideas, expansion of trade, and global stewardship are among the positive effects of globalization.
