abstract="As a Middle Eastern epidemiologist, I have developed an interest in &quot;war epidemiology&quot;. However, the following experience has encouraged me to think more deeply about this branch of epidemiology.   Very recently, I asked one of my colleagues to review a manu- script of mine regarding &quot;war epidemiology.&quot; The aim of that manuscript was to urge epidemiologists around the world to take &quot;war epidemiology&quot; more seriously by developing more educa- tional materials and programs. And I have concluded that &quot;war epidemiology&quot; would be able to prepare solid evidence which might be useful to prevent wars and armed conflicts.   Nonetheless, my colleague has pointed me toward &quot;peace studies&quot; as the best way to stop wars. She further explains that &quot;peace studies&quot; are a relatively new academic focus or invention, and indeed, through the numerous peace organizations, groups, and committees, it would be possible not only just looking at ter- tiary degrees in peace studies but also peace education in primary and secondary schools and probably for the whole members of communities...<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
