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. A comprehensive Medline search was conducted using Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) search with key words and phrases, identifying relevant articles from 2001 – May 2024. The leadership core team for the literature review is: Cullen Clark, MD; Hazel Jeong, MD; Christopher Wright, MD; Brandon Kappy, MD; Dennis Ren, MD; Elizabeth Hewett Brumberg, MD; Caroline Stephens, MD; Sarita Chung, MD; Nathan Timm, MD; Rachel Stanley, MD;  Susi Miller, MLIS; Sara Helwig, MS; April Parish, BS.
