Translating Conflict Exposure Histories into Quantitative Metrics

Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Convention Center

This study describes the development of a Composite Exposure Index (CEI) designed to translate civilian exposure histories obtained through structured qualitative surveys into quantitative metrics suitable for environmental health analysis.
