1Children's Health Fund, New York, NY, USA.
Objective:
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a mental health crisis in adolescents. To evaluate resource needs, we attempted to collect data from Children's Health Fund's national network of pediatric practices working in resource-limited settings.
Methods:
Data could not be collected largely due to other disaster response priorities for our network. Using a STROBE flowchart, we characterize the inability to collect data, provide insight into network challenges, and offer this report as a case example for the limitations in collecting data during disaster response.
Results:
Only 2 of 24 programs had the capacity and the data to participate. Causes of non-participation included shifting work toward other aspects of disaster response, limiting collection of data, or lack of human resources to extract it.
Conclusions:
Disaster disproportionately affects under-resourced communities. The lack of resources impairs disaster response due to conflicting priorities in those working within these communities.
