In addition to these studies, other scholars have investigated environment-induced migration in the context of vulnerability by exploring the interactions between environmental change and migration using descriptive methods (McLeman and Hunter 2010; Warner et al. 2010).
Community engagement in research has gained momentum as an approach to improving research, to helping ensure that community concerns are taken into account, and to informing ethical decision-making when research is conducted in contexts of vulnerability [ 1– 3].

Driven both by recognition of the need for locally relevant health research in lower income countries, and by awareness of the potential for exploitation in contexts of vulnerability and inequality [ 21], collaborative partnership and social value have been proposed as benchmarks against which the ethics of research in lower income countries should be measured [ 22, 23].
Consequently, I was a naïve nurse, lacking the knowledge and skill on how to engage with the concept of vulnerability at a practice level within a context of widespread vulnerability.
This additional aspect of the definition is particularly relevant because it situates disasters in the general context of hazards, exposure, vulnerability, and risk, all uniquely intertwined, affecting, and in turn are affected by, a society's resilience, which can lead to the potential development of death and destruction (Wisner et al. 2004).
