许多后勤问题使儿童灾难研究的进行复杂化。与成人研究一样,许多儿童研究使用了对不具代表性的样本的单一横断面评估,它没有考虑到灾前对灾后问题的贡献,而且它从仅仅提供关联的结果中得出了毫无根据的因果结论。尽管对父母报告的准确性和儿童对某些术语的理解感到担忧,但大多数儿童研究使用了单一的信息来源--要么是儿童自己,要么是他们的父母。随着这一领域的成熟,对研究方法和设计的复杂性的更多关注将增加我们在灾难背景下对儿童的理解。版权所有©2008 John Wiley&Sons,Ltd.
A number of logistical issues complicate the conduct of child disaster research. Like studies of adults, much of the child research has used a single cross‐sectional assessment of non‐representative samples, it fails to consider pre‐disaster contribution to post‐disaster problems, and it leaps to unwarranted causal conclusions from results providing mere associations. Despite concern about the accuracy of parental report and concern about children's understanding of certain terms, most child studies have used a single source of information – either the children themselves or their parents. As the field matures, greater attention to the sophistication of research methods and design will increase our understanding of children in the context of disasters.
