I looked into the aid organization Medicins Sans Frontieres and the incident mentioned in the article where the organization was forced to abandon their operations in Somalia.  The multiple mentions of a lack of data available on violence against aid workers led me to research the Aid Worker Security Database in order to better understand the system for which data was organized. Finally, I was surprised by the mention of government supported violence against aid workers and decided to look into that. There was a significant amount of news concerning government plots and political violence but very little appeared to be reliable or could be corroborated.

  1. since most of the studies presented in this article were based on seizures and their triggers, I looked into the pathophysiology of epileptic seizures
  2. I researched the treatments for seizures, their availability in places like turkey, and their overall effectiveness and ability to maintain or improve quality of life.
  3. I looked at what degree of public healthcare is provided for people in the regions described in the article.
