“…As the drought continued, the participants noticed a shift from collective sharing of coping resources towards more conservative protection of their own resources ( support deterioration ).32. Carnie et al () Public fora solicited reports on the drought‐related experiences of young students at boarding schools.Event: Australian drought, 2000s Country: Australia Age: children (range: 9–11), adults Sample size: 46 children and an unspecified number of adults Sampling: non‐random Diversity: unspecifiedMethod: semi‐structured school‐based fora Time: 2009 (several years into the drought) Support themes: worrying about family ; isolation Children worried about their parents’ mental health, family relationships (such as arguing, separating), and not being able to help because they were away at school ( family crucibles ).

This scoping review provides a summary of research findings on social support dynamics in the wake of disasters that occurred on the continent of Australia and Oceania between 1983 and 2013. Forty‐one studies, quantitative and qualitative, were summarised, investigating different facets of post‐disaster supportive interactions. All inquiries assessed disasters resulting from natural hazards, with the majority of them conducted following events in Australia and New Zealand. The review revealed similar patterns of post‐disaster social support dynamics that routinely unfold after disastrous incidents all over the world. Consistent with the disaster mental health literature, the documentation of social support mobilisation and social support deterioration processes was common. Salutary direct effects of supportive behaviours on post‐disaster psychological distress were also highly evident. Most studies, however, posed research questions or hypotheses that lacked empirical or theoretical grounding. In conclusion, the review offers several recommendations on how to advance research on post‐disaster social support.

“…For example, in rural Australia, deliberative forums provided a venue for adolescents in drought-affected areas to articulate their concerns about the impact of drought on their futures, families, communities, and mental health, as well as inform new policy for tailored interventions incorporating rural youths' experiences. 21 In Korea, deliberative forums enabled citizens to collectively discuss benefit coverage for National Health Insurance and contribute to incorporating social value judgements (e.g., what is best for all) into health care coverage. 22 In the United States, deliberative forums provided low-income communities an opportunity to set local priorities for interventions to mitigate social and economic factors on health.…”

Deliberative methods obtain informed and well-reasoned public input on health topics but are rarely accompanied by rigorous qualitative methods that can ground findings in community members' shared experiences. In this project, we used Deliberative Democracy Forums, a deliberative process, to bring diverse community members together to collectively discuss mental health among rural African Americans, brainstorm solutions to address mental health needs, deliberate alternate solutions, and indicate steps for future action. By using rigorous qualitative methods to document the deliberative process and analyze deliberative dialogue, we produced a strong evidence base to inform future health care policy and research. In this article, we document our approach, present forum findings, and discuss the impact of deliberation on policy and research. We conclude that the combination of deliberative process and qualitative methods used in our project can produce a deeply contextualized understanding of mental health and identify community-initiated solutions to address mental health needs in resource-poor communities, which can help guide public health research and provide an evidence base for public health policy.
