“…Our data did not include measures of socio-economic status, social support, or other social determinants of health, which would add valuable information about how crises impact on existing inequalities. Our results are cross-sectional, and changes in health behaviours may have fluctuated throughout the crises ( Villeneuve et al., 2021 ). Further, more detailed data about health behaviours (e.g.…”

“…Further, future crises such as fires, floods, droughts, and pandemics, are increasingly likely and will continue to impact on healthcare systems. Preparing for these while ensuring optimal health outcomes for all people with chronic health concerns is critical, and consumer input into disaster and recovery planning is paramount ( Villeneuve et al., 2021 ).…”

“…Consumer-driven research and initiatives are essential to developing understanding and reducing the impact of crises, and build resilience for future crises; in particular for vulnerable communities ( Villeneuve et al., 2021 ). Therefore, this mixed-methods study, a collaboration between researchers, consumers, carers, MS advocates, and healthcare practitioners, aims to understand the impact of recent crises; the Australian Black Summer Bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic, on health behaviours of Australian people with MS.…”

Background Crises and disasters disproportionally impact people with chronic health conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Objective To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Australian Black Summer Bushfires on health behaviours in people with MS. Methods People with MS, carers, healthcare and advocacy professionals were recruited online between May-July 2020 for an online survey and telephone interviews. Results Survey items relating to health behaviours were completed by 113 people with MS, and 18 people with MS, 4 MS advocates, 5 healthcare professionals, and 2 carers were interviewed. The bushfires affected 34.5% and the pandemic affected 74.3% of survey participants with MS. The pandemic and bushfires caused a decrease in physical activity in 53.8% and 55.3% of participants respectively, as well as increases in unhealthy eating (43.6% and 24.3% respectively) and alcohol consumption (35.4% and 10.5% respectively), and a decrease in typical sleeping patterns (40.5% and 39.5% respectively). Conversely, 27.5% of participants reported an increase in physical activity during the pandemic. Interview data detailed the circumstances and motivations for changes in health behaviours, as well as consequences, including reduced mobility, fitness, mood disturbances, and weight gain. Conclusion There is a need to increase support and health promotion for people with MS to maintain or initiate positive health behaviours, especially in times of adversity.

“…The third peer-reviewed article was an essay [ 16 ] that identified the potential needs of people with disability and discussed strategies to plan a more inclusive response to pandemic influenza. Of the four grey literature documents included in this review, three documents [ 17 , 18 , 19 ] discussed the government’s preparedness plans to assist people with disability and one document was a guide [ 20 ] to assist people with disability to manage their own emergency preparedness plan, all for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Two of the four grey literature documents were published in Australia [ 17 , 20 ] and one each by United Kingdom aid (UKaid) [ 18 ] and the WHO [ 19 ].…”

Objective—To collate evidence on (1) the risk of infection for people with disability during infectious disease outbreaks and/or pandemics and (2) government responses and pandemic plans for people with disability. Methods—Through two rapid reviews, relevant peer-reviewed studies and grey literature published from 2002 onwards in the English language were identified. Data were synthesised narratively. Results—Aim 1: Of the 680 studies, two studies were included in the review. No grey literature was eligible for inclusion. The evidence regarding risk was inconclusive. Aim 2: Of the 50 studies, three peer-review studies, along with four government reports were included. The literature largely reported on measures being taken to maximise the prevention of transmission of COVID-19 for the general population, with only a few programs including people with disability. Conclusion—Overall, there is inconclusive evidence on the risk of infection for people with disability during infectious disease outbreaks and/or pandemics and the government preparedness and planning for disease outbreaks and/or pandemics largely exclude people with disability. From a population health perspective, during disease outbreaks and pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the general population, it is important for governments to include people with disability in their pandemic planning and response.

“…People with disabilities are often disproportionately impacted by disasters, including climaterelated events, and are implicitly considered as helpless victims and "the least worth saving", 3 rather than active contributors in disaster preparedness. [4][5][6] The linkages between climate change and disability go beyond the risks posed by climate change to health, to encompass how we build wellbeing and healthy communities through sociopolitical relations and processes. 7,8 Indeed, the COVID19 pandemic measures over the past year and a half brought home the importance of what people often take for granted: the role of social interaction, sense of belonging, solidarity, and equity for our everyday quality of life.…”
