Pediatric Disaster Research Literature Review
A special collection constrained to resources added as part of a scoping review that aimed to catalogue and appraise the past 20+ years of pediatric disaster medicine research. The team defined the research question, developed eligibility criteria for articles, and identified a search strategy.
