Outline of Final Research Achievements

With regard to the contents of the disaster response manual for children with diabetes, an existing manual related to diabetes and a literature review on diabetes at the time of a large-scale disaster occurrence and pediatric type 1 diabetes were selected, and candidates for necessary items were extracted. Based on the extracted items, we created a questionnaire for investigation using the Delphi method for persons with an awareness of childhood diabetes. Although the survey request to the related organization and coordination were conducted in carrying out the survey by the Delphi method, it was difficult to adjust the timing of the survey and the burden of the content, so the content of the questionnaire was examined again Although the study was conducted, the actual research period was not completed, and the research period was ended
