Abstract
Summary Points
N As for any type of health care, decisions about interventions in the context of
natural disasters, conflict, and other major healthcare emergencies must be
guided by the best possible evidence.
N Disaster health interventions and decision making can benefit from an
evidence-based approach.
N We outline how systematic reviews and methodologically sound research can
build a much-needed evidence base.
N We do this from the standpoint of Evidence Aid, an initiative that aims to
improve access to evidence on the effects of interventions, actions, and policies
before, during, and after disasters and other humanitarian emergencies, so as to
improve health-related outcomes/
