Neighborhood Effects on Mental Health among Women Survivors of Hurricane Katrina
Cover Story: The frequency of natural disasters is increasing due to climate change. While the literature regarding place and health is vast, there are few studies on displaced and disaster-exposed communities. Women are an important vulnerable population in this context as they are disproportionately impacted by natural disasters. This longitudinal study examines the association between neighborhood socioeconomic conditions and mental health among women survivors of Hurricane Katrina, the 2005 storm which resulted in severe displacement in the Gulf Coast region. This study, which leverages ten years of data from the Gulf Coast Child and Family Health Study, contributes novel findings and perspectives to the importance of displacement patterns and how changing neighborhood conditions may be important for mental health among survivors over time.
