[P-19] Health-Related Studies After the Great East Japan Earthquake: A Literature Review
キーワード：Great East Japan Earthquake, Health-related disaster research
Health-related disaster research provides beneficial evidence for decision-making for disaster response and therefore conducting studies on time is important. However, the priority should be disaster response activities during and after disasters, and researchers should avoid burdening affected peoples. "Health" is a focus of the Sendai Framework 2015-2030 and, to accomplish its goals, it is important to understand the long-term of health effects of disasters and disasters' impacts on vulnerable populations are important (1).
The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake caused about 20,000 casualties or missing person. Prolonged displacement created health issues among the affected people. After the earthquake, hundreds of health-related studies, mostly in Japanese or in English, were published. To contribute to future disaster preparedness, we conducted a literature review of studies on the 2011 earthquake, focusing the way these studies were conducted.
Literature databases, including PubMed (National Library of Medicine), Web of Science (Clarivate), Japanese database Ichushi (Japan Medical Abstract Society), and J-Dream III (JST), were searched for relevant articles. The publication period was set from 2011 until March 2018. Articles irrelevant to human health outcomes were excluded.
About 400 articles in Japanese and 300 articles in English were retrieved and classified according to subject, health topic, and publication year. The way the studies were conducted was evaluated. Understanding how research is conducted on disaster-related health effects and their characteristics will contribute to future disaster research.
