Background.
Natural disasters are projected to increase due to climate change. Mental health is not a well-researched area in public health, particularly as it relates to environmental health and in the aftermath of natural disasters. The suicide rate is approximately 13 per 100,000 people in the US, nationally. This already high suicide rate warrants researching this area mental health.

GW Research Days 2016 - 2020
Background: The American Society of Clinical Oncology launched CancerLinQ project in 2010 to provide real-time data collection, mining and visualization, clinical decision support, and quality feedback. Creation of a big data software platform is currently underway to power the CancerLinQ in the phase II of the project. This would allow for evidence driven practice and rapid learning for cancer care providers. Additionally, adequate knowledge about the utility of Big Data to encourage provider utilization in high Impact Factor (IF) journals is needed. We aimed to assess trends and quality of Big Data published in Oncology.
