“…Thus, community organizations are key factors that reduce vulnerability to the variety of consequences of armed conflict. These results and the underlying theoretical connection between community disadvantage (or comparative advantage) and resiliency and coping during periods of disaster are similar to evidence from recent studies in a number of areas which find that community organizations and support have impacts on mental illness after terrorist events and mortality and migration following natural disasters (Klinenberg 2002; Norris et al 2002; Ahern et al 2004; Browning et al 2006; Myers et al 2008; Tracy et al 2008). …”

“…Evidence shows that community organizations that provide social support and a forum for developing strong social relationships can help people to better adapt to and cope with the social and psychological consequences of conflict and crises (Creamer et al 1993; Norris and Kaniasty 1996; Carr et al 1997; Hobfoll and Lilly 1993; Jenkins 1997; Kwon et al 2001; Galea et al 2002; Tracy et al 2008). Similarly, organizations that provide economic support can help people to better cope with the economic consequences of conflict.…”

How community organizations moderate the effect of armed conflict on migration in Nepal

This article describes an analytical study of systematic micro-level variability in migration during conflict. The study is based on a multi-dimensional model of individual out-migration that examines the economic, social, and political consequences of conflict and how community organizations condition the experience of these consequences and systematically alter migration patterns. A unique combination of detailed data on violent events and individual behaviours during the Maoist insurrection in Nepal and multi-level event-history models were used to empirically test the model. Results indicate that community organizations dampened the effect of conflict on out-migration by providing resources that helped people to cope with the danger as well as economic, social and political consequences of conflict. This evidence suggests a systematic redistribution of population, partially contingent upon specific resources available in each community, which will likely affect the socio-demographic context of post-conflict Nepal into the future.

Objective-To evaluate the association between secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure and depression. Tobacco smoking and depression are strongly associated, but the possible effects of SHS have not been evaluated. Results-Serum cotinine-documented SHS exposure was positively associated with depressive symptoms in never-smokers, even after adjustment for age, race/ethnicity, gender, education, alcohol consumption, and medical comorbidities. The association between SHS exposure and depressive symptoms did not vary by gender, nor was there any association between SHS smoke exposure and depressive symptoms in former smokers. Methods-TheConclusions-Findings from the present study suggest that SHS exposure is positively associated with depressive symptoms in never-smokers and highlight the need for further research to establish the mechanisms of association.

“…33,34 There were many factors associated with the depressive symptoms of residents within these terrorism areas such as; financial hardship, material deprivation and lower social support. 35 Due to the diversity of these factors, the prevalence of depression between this study and previous studies was different. The Thai government has launched many policies to control situations, and alleviate distress in people within these areas.…”

Background: Depression in elderly usually goes unnoticed in the general population. The aim of this research is to study on the prevalence, and associated factors of elderly depression within Songkhla province. This being a major city with a population of one and a half million, situated in the south of Thailand. Methods: This is a two-stage cluster sampling study. We collected data from members of the elderly population (65-99 years of age) in Songkhla Province from 1st of September -30th of November 2015. The sample size was calculated by R-program. We used the 15-item Thai Geriatric Depression Scale (TGDS-15) questionnaire to find the prevalence and its association of factors. The associated factors were analyzed by multiple logistic regression using a backward-stepwise method. Results: By using TGDS-15, the prevalence of depression in the elderly population in Songkhla province was 12.0 percent. The association of depression as well as potential, associated factors in this study; sex, age, and residential area, were not found to be significant. We found more prevalence among Muslims, those being alone, and having a lower educational level within this area (p-value < 0.05). Conclusions:The prevalence of depression was quite high among the elderly population of Songkhla province. Many statically, both significant and insignificant, correlations were found. We need an in-depth research, concerning both biological and spiritual aspects to explain the etiology of depression. Then, some policies need to be implemented to intervene those factors, so as to promote better health and quality of life in elderly people.
