The Rapid Acquisition of Pre- and Post- Incident Disaster Data (RAPIDD) Study Protocol provides a pre-planned research study protocol to be used for rapidly implementing a new study at the time of a disaster, and provides the steps for gathering sociodemographic, health status, occupational exposure, and lifestyle information. The RAPIDD Protocol Designer is a web-based tool that allows researchers to make selections and provide inputs to customize a human subjects research protocol based on their unique scenario.
