I looked up how emergency responders deal with mental health, since the method that was described in this article is no longer recommended. I also investigated the types of disaster that people around the world face each year, besides for weather disasters. Furthermore, I looked at a map of the types of disasters across the globe.

That humanitarian aid struggles to address gender-based violence, such as sexual assault and rape, and even as it has become more addressed and medicalised it has potential to break down in due to the neutral stance taken by foundations such as MSF.

It doesn’t appear to be particularly well-utilized in the news sector, appearing in an article in Journalist’s Resource in 2014. There was no evidence that I could find that it had been used as a source in other studies.

'Most organizations have their own definitions and categories for reporting incidents, which makes comparative research difficult'

'Typically, perpetrators have complex and even compound motives for committing violence.'

'Finally, there are ethical challenges to gathering more data and disseminating research. These range from the universal, such as ensuring that research does not inadvertently do harm, addressing concerns over patient confidentiality and appropriately sharing the findings with research participants, to concerns specific to research in complex security environments'

The article does not directly address emergency response, however it did address medical stories as being helpful to the public to feel supported and reach out when they realized they had a psychological condition. This is important in society, because if someone can get treated for something, or at least know they have it an take precautions, then they help themselves feel more comfortable and be more successful, they reduce the strain on those around them, and they make it easier for healthcare providers, if there is ever a related issue.

It is necessary, in order to properly address growing global disasters and health-threats such as epidemics, to have a global approach to health instead of a national focus.
