The emotional cost of distance: Geographic social network dispersion and post-traumatic stress among survivors of Hurricane Katrina

Abstract: Rationale Social networks offer important emotional and instrumental support following natural disasters. However, displacement may geographically disperse network members, making it difficult to provide and receive support necessary for psychological recovery after trauma. Objectives We examine associations between distance to network members and post-traumatic stress using survey data, and identify potential mechanisms underlying this association using in-depth qualitative interviews. Methods We use long… Show more

“…Notably, poor female Americans of color are likely to experience the most extreme adverse impacts of climate change and natural disaster. Disruption of familial and social ties after disaster and displacement carries significant personal costs, particularly for low-income mothers who may rely on these ties for emotional support, as well as childcare and other needs (Morris & Deterding, 2016). Providers should be particularly attentive to disaster survivors’ needs for support in these areas.…”

“…Because of the mandates of Federal funding sources—and the historical importance of the topic—data archiving for secondary analysis was a concern from the start of the project (Waters 2016). While the RISK project may be of unusual size and scope, including the opportunity to match survey responses to interview transcripts (Deterding 2015a; Morris and Deterding 2016), many of the challenges we faced are common to large-scale interview studies.…”

“…In our recent work, we have used this process for organizing qualitative analysis with a research team, which included scholars from different disciplines writing about many separate topics. The RISK qualitative data have been used to examine physical and mental health outcomes of Katrina (Bosick 2015; Lowe, Rhodes, and Waters 2015; Morris and Deterding 2016); experiences of racism during the hurricane and its aftermath (Lowe, Lustig, and Marrow 2011); changes in marital and partner relationships (Lowe, Rhodes, and Scoglio 2012); residential choices and social mobility (Asad 2015); posthurricane (im)migration and race relations (Tollette 2013); and educational planning and return (Deterding 2015a). Other methodological treatments of team-based coding focus on the intercoder reliability of analytic codes in a single study, which is noted as a very time-intensive iterative process (Campbell et al 2013; Price and Smith 2017).…”

“…According to the subgroup analyses, the combined prevalence of PTSD among survivors of a hurricane and typhoon was 41.74% (95% CI: 29.81%, 54.18%), 21.16% (95% CI: 16.23%, 26.55%), 4.4% (95% CI: 1.44%, 8.8%), and 14.04% (95% CI: 4.05%, 28.68%) for Category-5, 16,17 Category-4, 3,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] Category-2, 7,10 and Category-1 36-39 storms, respectively. There was no study that focused on the Category-3 storm.…”
