Predictive values of "recall history of chicken pox" as a reliable measure of actual immunity to the disease.

چکیده
In a meta analysis of media and disaster it was observed that when the media and public health professionals work closely together, informing and educating the public with accurate information, beneÞ cial effects can be achieved and the wellbeing of the disaster community can be enhanced. However, only a few studies actually examined associations between the media and health problems following disasters. Therefore, more studies that explicitly examine the role of the media in the aftermath of disasters are encouraged.
