  • Title: Pediatric terrorism preparedness national guidelines and recommendations: findings of an evidenced-based consensus process.
    Author: Markenson D, Redlener I.
    Journal: Biosecur Bioterror; 2004; 2(4):301-19. PubMed ID: 15650440.
    Abstract:
    A cadre of experts and stakeholders from government agencies, professional organizations, emergency medicine and response, pediatrics, mental health, and disaster preparedness were gathered to review and summarize the existing data on the needs of children in the planning, preparation, and response to disasters or terrorism. This review was followed by development of evidence-based consensus guidelines and recommendations on the needs of children in disasters, including chemical, biological, and radiological terrorism. An evidence-based consensus process was used in conjunction with a modified Delphi approach for selection of topic areas and discussion points. These recommendations and guidelines represent the first national evidence-based standards for pediatric disaster and terrorism preparedness.
