The Center for Public Health and Disasters, at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Department of Health Sciences, announces a new ecological study that proposes to determine the group-level predictors of injury from earthquakes. This global study, which will examine worldwide earthquakes from the past decade, will be a first step in helping to determine what associations exist between variables such as morbidity, population density, and earthquake magnitude. It is hoped that looking at these group characteristics will reveal grounded strategies for determining causal relationships among the variables listed above.
