Conflict and Health Research Group

This site focuses on awareness raising, education, and debate.  The key components of the relationship between conflict and health will be reviewed, current research and findings debated, and key initiatives and projects highlighted.  The site will explore: 

• The impact of conflict and instability on population health;
• The impact of health interventions on conflict dynamics (health as a peacebuilding tool, post conflict health interventions as key for institution building); and,
• The use of health data as a 'window into conflict' for researchers and policy makers, providing them with information about conflict dynamics - who is being affected by conflict, and the efficacy of international engagement.

Currently, the components of the website that are operational are the ‘library’ section, where I have posted key documents on the conflict and health relationship; and the ‘forum’ where I am posting documents to prompt discussion.
