Poster Presentation at the 2nd International Conference on the Burden of Disease

Margo Tonnelier and Periklis Charalampous had the pleasure of presenting our poster on “Assessing the health impact of disasters: the disasters health burden (DHB) project using Disability-Adjusted Life Years” at the 2nd international conference on the Burden of Disease, which brings together experts on the Burden of Disease and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). We have conducted a comprehensively review existing studies quantifying DALYs due to disasters to critically discuss the methodological challenges of DALYs calculation due to earthquakes and heatwaves for the Disasters Health Burden (DHB) project.
