Emergency Health Care Workers’ Preparedness and Willingness to Respond to a Dirty Bomb-related Disaster in Pakistan
Our findings point to the need to improve WTR toward an RDD event by shifting behavioral factors among HCWs through efficacy-focused training; enhancing WTR through such training strategies is imperative beyond mere delivery of information. Changing norms around response, along with institutional support, may further boost WTR during RDD emergencies.
