  1. Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA)
    Source: Action Against Hunger (ACF)
    Date Published: 7/9/2015
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The purpose of the Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA) for Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions (SMART) is to make nutrition assessments and mortality rate calculations in emergency situations as easy and reliable as possible. It focuses on the most important indicators (anthropometric and mortality data), checks the plausibility of the entered data, and gives out an automatic report. Since the software cannot explain why children are malnourished or mortality rates are high, the results of the survey have to be complemented with other information (e.g., from the Food Security part of ENA or discussions with key informants); collection of this additional information on the household level has a high risk to reduce the quality of the anthropometric and mortality data. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

    Format: Text
    Annotation: The Disaster Psychosocial Assessment and Surveillance Toolkit (Disaster-PAST) is from the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans (LSU HSC) and was designed for surveillance of community mental health and psychosocial functioning following disasters, for the purpose of informing distribution of services by public or private entities and better understanding the ongoing need in recovering communities. It includes a section on applying for Institutional Review Board (IRB) clearance for disaster-related human research. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
