abstract="Disaster risk reduction and healthcare support each other, including the mitigation of further harm after illness or injury. These connections are particularly relevant  in locations which have permanent or temporary limited accessibility. In these  circumstances, people are required to be self-sufficient in providing emergency and  long-term healthcare with limited resources. Planning and preparing to mitigate  further harm after illness or injury from disasters (disaster risk reduction) must  include people living and working in locations with limited accessibility, meaning  that participatory research can be used. The challenges and opportunities of  enacting participatory research in such contexts have not been thoroughly examined. The research question of this paper is therefore, &quot;What challenges and opportunities  occur when participatory research links disaster risk reduction and healthcare to  mitigate illness and injury in locations with limited accessibility?&quot; To answer this  research question, the method used is a qualitative evidence synthesis, combined  with an overview paper approach. Two principal themes of challenges and  opportunities are examined: defining the data and collecting the data. The themes  are explored in theory and then through contextual examples. The conclusion is that  an overarching challenge is divergent goals of research and actions that, when  recognized, lead to opportunities for improved connections between disaster risk  reduction and healthcare.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
