The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...

The Evidence for Evolution02:55

The Evidence for Evolution

40.1K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Hazard Ratio01:12

Hazard Ratio

756
The hazard ratio (HR) is a widely used measure in clinical trials to compare the risk of events, such as death or disease recurrence, between two groups over time. It reflects the ratio of hazard rates—the instantaneous risk of the event occurring—between a treatment group and a control group. This measure provides valuable insights into the relative effectiveness of a treatment by assessing how the risk of an event differs between the two groups.
For example, in a clinical trial...

Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Area of Science:

  • Humanitarian Aid
  • Disaster Medicine
  • Public Health Preparedness

Background:

  • The Second Evidence Aid Conference convened in Brussels, Belgium, in October 2012.
  • It built upon discussions from the 2011 conference to prioritize Evidence Aid's future initiatives.
  • Over 80 international participants engaged in discussions on evidence needs, utilization, and prioritization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prioritize future work for Evidence Aid.
  • To address the need, use, and prioritization of evidence in humanitarian contexts.
  • To develop a framework for prioritizing research and data collection during disasters.

Main Methods:

  • Plenary presentations, discussions, and small work groups were utilized.
  • Three parallel workshops focused on prioritizing research, systematic reviews, and disaster data collection.
  • International participants from disaster and humanitarian sectors collaborated.

Main Results:

  • A suggested prioritization framework for evidence in disasters was developed.
  • A commitment was made to identify key areas for evidence in disaster response.
  • The conference identified the need for systematic reviews and prioritized research questions.

Conclusions:

  • Evidence Aid will use the developed framework to create a list of top priority research questions.
  • Identified research questions will be shared with relevant agencies, even if not directly addressed by Evidence Aid.
  • The conference established a clear path for advancing evidence-based humanitarian action.
