The article is a conglomeration of findings during two research workshops in 2014 and 2015. There are also many outside articles referenced on the subject. Finally experiences from those in the field are used to understand the difficulties.
The article's bibliography contains many references including the WHO, the Red Cross, and other organizations, as well as many other experts and professionals in the field.
The bibliography heavily references articles discussing humanitarian aid, suggesting the priorities of the authors towards that field. It also includes many articles about health services in developing countries and the mistreatment of health workers, which is what they are struggling to research.
The argument is supported through examples of violence, interviews, and insight into the ways in which research is lacking in this field.
The paper presents the challenges that are encountered when one tries to research violence affecting health service industry, such as lack of data and disaggregated data.
According to Google Scholar, this article has only been cited once. The publication's name is "Documenting Attacks on Health Workers and Facilities in Armed Conflicts." This publication discusses attacks on health facilities and workers in Afghanistan, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic and Yemen.
I found it cited in Documenting attacks on health workers and facilities in armed conflicts, otherwise no where else.
The authors discuss that there is little information regarding this topic because there is a lack of research. This is pointed out by the fact that they could only find 38 articles that related to this topic. They also point out that there is an urgency for an analysis regarding the impact of this violence on the facilities, organizations, and on the populations that benefitted from the humanitarian presence.
There were 7 so I did a few:
Suyoun Jung - Researches fragile states, and security, developement and Korea. These places are highly at-risk for disasters and at-risk for difficulties controlling disasters once they occur.
Gulzhan Asylbek Kyzy is working on the impact evaluation of the epacebuilding programme in Kyrgyzstan. These kind of programs could help address less developed countries' infrastructure and systems weaknesses, and if one proves successful, it could be used as a model for future efforts.
Nerina Weiss has a PhD in Social Anthropology and researches Violance and conflict, gender, political anthropology, migration, and torture and social suffering. He work is also very related to what we focus on in developing countries struggling to manage their populations and political atomosphere.
Emergency response is incrediably relevant to this article. Although a lot of the focus is on humanitarian aid, EMS has these same issues. We have limitations on how much information about a patient we can discuss, although more information is available for statistical use. It is also hard in the short period of time with a patient to fully understand a lot of this information, and we don't go into the field as researchers. Finally, motive is completely unimportant to us most of the time. We see what is wrong and we treat it, we can't worry why the person has a laceration, that is the job of the police, except in the cases of child or elder abuse.
