2012 Review on the Extension of the AMedP-8(C) Methodology to New Agents, Materials, and Conditions

Abstract

This is the fourth in a series of annual reviews on the extension of the casualty estimation methodology described in Allied Medical Publication 8 (C): NATO Planning Guide for the Estimation of CBRN Casualties (AMedP-8(C)). This annual review focuses primarily on newly available data that can be used to update existing agents or effects in the methodology. A literature review was conducted to 1) identify data sources immediately useful for updating AMedP-8(C) human response parameters or otherwise modifying the methodology and 2) help inform future analyses and serve as a starting point for related research efforts. Topics for future analysis were identified, and the level of effort to carry out each analysis was estimated. Recommended future efforts fell into three broad groups: editorial changes to the text of future versions of AMedP-8 or related documents, the incorporation of new data into existing AMedP-8(C) models, and the comparison of AMedP-8(C) models to other published models for validation or revision.
