This training module, which is made possible with funding from the National Science Foundation and supplemental support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, introduces participants to academic literature that describes common mental health outcomes associated with disaster. It includes case studies to present common methodological approaches used to conduct disaster mental health research. In addition, trainings, tools, and policies that familiarize users with evidence-informed actions that address the mental health needs of those affected by disaster are also included.

Source: RAND Corporation. Published: 12/2019. This 27-page document reviews the current scope and operation of global health security, identifies emerging threats, and assesses how adequately current visions of global health security account for these threats. The authors identify two main threats to global health security: slow-burn problems, whose long-term effects are underestimated, potentially causing them to receive insufficient attention until it is too late to reverse the damage; and the implications for dual use of emerging technologies that have beneficial uses but also can be used as weapons.

Source: Natural Hazards Center [University of Colorado at Boulder]. Published: 11/2019. This two-page fact sheet discusses the importance of conducting a systematic literature review as an essential part of the hazards and disaster research process. By identifying and critically evaluating available knowledge on a research topic, researchers can identify gaps and/or inconsistencies in the existing literature. This can inform the development of innovative research questions and help prioritize what perishable and time-sensitive data should be collected in the disaster aftermath, as well as establish longer-term research agendas for mitigation, preparedness, and recovery-oriented research.
