About

This case study discusses a web-based disaster research training program at the University of Washington. The program aimed to train researchers and clinicians in disaster mental health for children and families. It used online learning to build a team across different regions, improving knowledge and collaboration. Despite challenges like busy schedules, the program succeeded in raising awareness about child mental health during disasters, influencing local response plans, and contributing to research literature. It also led to new projects and ongoing teamwork among participants using distance technology for education and collaboration in public health emergencies.
