The Workgroup’s efforts to address these gaps included: Conducting a systematic literature review of multi-discipline pediatric disaster education and curriculum; Evaluating the impact of prior pediatric disaster educational initiatives; Identifying best practices; Offering strategic recommendations for improvement and engagement; Developing an overarching framework across disciplines and communities to promote and engage partners and communities in pediatric disaster education.
