The current study provides a comprehensive snapshot of qualitative studies of layperson perspectives of SA.
Layperson perspectives advocate the inclusion of components of SA that go beyond physical health.
A systematic review of layperson perspectives of SA was conducted across MEDLINE, PsycInfo, CINAHL, EMBASE and ISI Web of Knowledge.
This breadth of psychosocial components in SA has not been illuminated to this degree in previous studies, providing invaluable insight into the complexity of layperson perspectives of SA.
With such a variety of psychosocial components mentioned in the current review, including every aspect of layperson perspectives into models of SA becomes increasingly difficult.
9 Therefore, the incorporation of layperson perspectives expands and complements researcher-driven conceptualisations of SA, with the potential to improve both the quality and impact of research, 10 increasing the validity and practical relevance of SA models.
This widely used model provides the theoretical underpinnings for many operational definitions of SA. 1 Although these researcher-driven conceptualisations of SA are popular, they have, however, been subject to criticism due to their biomedical focus, without explicit input of layperson perspectives.

What's important about the paper from a layperson's perspective — besides the fate of the world's major coastal cities, many of which would be swamped if the oceans rose that high — is that it shows just how far from resolved, scientifically speaking, the question of danger levels remains.
On the other hand, one should think and ask questions from a layperson's perspective.
