The role of the applied epidemiologist in armed conflict Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE ARMED CONFLICT SOCIAL SERVICES SOCIAL SECURITY VIOLENCE HEALTH SERVICES This report highlights that the health programs designed to prevent and mitigate conflict are in their early stages of implementation and the evaluation measures for success are still being defined. The practice of epidemiology in conflict must occur within a larger humanitarian and political context to be effective. The skills required extend beyond the normal epidemiological training that focuses on the valid collection and interpretation of data and fall into two general categories: (1) Conducting a thorough assessment of the conflict setting in order to design more effective public health action in conflict settings, and (2) Communicating effectively to guide health program implementation, to advocate for needed policy changes and to facilitate interagency coordination. These are described and illustrated using examples from different countries. 2026-09-30T11:48:29Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33354147.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/The_role_of_the_applied_epidemiologist_in_armed_conflict/33354147 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
