RESEARCH PROJECTS

 

Violence Injury

Violence and disasters (nature or man-made) generate massive destruction and create humanitarian settings that necessitate urgent interventions to alleviate their impacts on local populations. We conducted several studies that systematically assess the impact of disasters (i.e., Beirut Blast) and Violence (war and conflicts) on the population and local healthcare systems.

Child Injury

Our researchers conducted multiple studies to assess the status of children in Lebanon and the Middle East and North African Region.
