Journal of Advanced Nursing, 07/14/08
Tuhkanen S et al. - This paper is a report of a study to describe Emergency Mobile Unit team members' and healthcare professionals' perceptions of a disaster preparedness and response project and to explore the elements of participation that could support its sustainability.

Involving disaster-affected people and the local community, especially women, in health development projects will help to ensure both success and sustainability.
