Child and Adolescent Mental Health Research in the Context of Hurricane Katrina: An Ecological Needs-Based Perspective and Introduction to the Special Section / Carl F. WEEMS in Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, 37-3 (July-September 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology > 37-3 (July-September 2008) . - p.487- 494 Titre : Child and Adolescent Mental Health Research in the Context of Hurricane Katrina: An Ecological Needs-Based Perspective and Introduction to the Special Section Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carl F. WEEMS, Auteur ; Stacy OVERSTREET, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.487- 494 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This article introduces the special section on child and adolescent mental health research in the context of Hurricane Katrina. We outline the purpose and intent of the special section and present an integrative perspective based on broad contextual theories of human development with which to think about the impact of disasters like Katrina. The perspective emphasizes multiple levels of influence on mental health and normal development through the impairment of multiple human needs. The perspective helps show the interconnections among the diverse theoretical and methodological paradigms that are utilized to understand the impact of disasters on youth and may help to guide future research.

Social Support, Discrimination, and Coping as Predictors of Posttraumatic Stress Reactions in Youth Survivors of Hurricane Katrina / Armando A. PINA in Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, 37-3 (July-September 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology > 37-3 (July-September 2008) . - p.564-574 Titre : Social Support, Discrimination, and Coping as Predictors of Posttraumatic Stress Reactions in Youth Survivors of Hurricane Katrina Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Armando A. PINA, Auteur ; Claudio D. ORTIZ, Auteur ; Carl F. WEEMS, Auteur ; Ian K. VILLALTA, Auteur ; Amanda C. GOTTSCHALL, Auteur ; Natalie M. COSTA, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.564-574 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the influence of aspects of the post-Hurricane Katrina recovery environment (i.e., discrimination, social support) and coping behaviors on children's posttraumatic stress reactions (symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], anxiety, and depression). Data corresponding to 46 youth (M = 11.43 years; 39% girls; 33% African American, 67% European American) revealed that greater helpfulness from extrafamilial sources of social support predicted lower levels of child-rated symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. A positive predictive relation was found between helpfulness from professional support sources and PTSD, perhaps suggesting that parents whose children were experiencing higher PTSD symptom levels sought professional support and reported it to be helpful. Youths' avoidant coping behaviors predicted both PTSD and anxiety symptoms. Discrimination, active coping, and familial support did not predict any of the posttraumatic stress reactions assessed in this study.

The Discrimination of Children's Phobias Using the Revised Fear Survey Schedule for Children / Carl F. WEEMS in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 40-6 (September 1999)

Discriminant function analyses and item analyses were conducted to determine if children meeting diagnostic criteria for a primary disorder of social phobia, simple phobia of the dark/sleeping alone, simple phobia of animals, or a simple phobia of shots/doctors could be differentiated on the basis of FSSC-R subscale scores and items. Results of the discriminant function analyses indicated that the child-completed as well as the parent-completed FSSC-Rs were similarly useful in differentiating the specific types of phobias. Results of the item analyses indicated that child-completed FSSC-R items could discriminate among the different simple phobias but not social phobia and that parent-completed FSSC-R items could discriminate not only the different simple phobias but also social phobia. Results are discussed in terms of the utility of the FSSC-R in the assessment of clinically significant fears in children with phobic disorders and the relative utility of child and parent ratings in the assessment of childhood fears.

A theoretical model of continuity in anxiety and links to academic achievement in disaster-exposed school children / Carl F. WEEMS in Development and Psychopathology, 25-3 (August 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 25-3 (August 2013) . - p.729-737 Titre : A theoretical model of continuity in anxiety and links to academic achievement in disaster-exposed school children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carl F. WEEMS, Auteur ; Brandon G. SCOTT, Auteur ; Leslie K. TAYLOR, Auteur ; Melinda F. CANNON, Auteur ; Dawn M. ROMANO, Auteur ; Andre M. PERRY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.729-737 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study tested a theoretical model of continuity in anxious emotion and its links to academic achievement in disaster-exposed youth. An urban school based sample of youths (n = 191; Grades 4–8) exposed to Hurricane Katrina were assessed at 24 months (Time 1) and then again at 30 months (Time 2) postdisaster. Academic achievement was assessed through end of the school year standardized test scores (~31 months after Katrina). The results suggest that the association of traumatic stress to academic achievement was indirect via linkages from earlier (Time 1) posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms that predicted later (Time 2) test anxiety. Time 2 test anxiety was then negatively associated with academic achievement. Age and gender invariance testing suggested strong consistency across gender and minor developmental variation in the age range examined. The model presented advances the developmental understanding of the expression of anxious emotion and its links to student achievement among disaster-exposed urban school children. The findings highlight the importance of identifying heterotypic continuity in anxiety and suggest potential applied and policy directions for disaster-exposed youth. Avenues for future theoretical refinement are also discussed.

Trajectories of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms among youth exposed to both natural and technological disasters / Joy D. OSOFSKY in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 56-12 (December 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 56-12 (December 2015) . - p.1347-1355 Titre : Trajectories of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms among youth exposed to both natural and technological disasters Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Joy D.

HANSEL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1347-1355 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Resilience  disasters  post-traumatic stress  trauma Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Theorists and researchers have demonstrated multiple trajectories of symptoms following disasters (Ecology and Society, 13, 2008, 9), highlighting the importance of obtaining more knowledge about exposed youth who demonstrate resilience as well as those who suffer chronic difficulties. This paper examines trajectories of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms following exposure to hurricanes and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill to increase understanding of resilience and chronic reactions to both natural and technological disasters. Methods A multiwave longitudinal design was used to follow N = 4,619 youth who were evaluated for PTSD symptoms, hurricane exposure, and oil spill exposure/stress at four time points over a period of 4 years. Trajectories were identified with cluster analyses and multilevel modeling. Results Individual trajectories were statistically identified consistent with theory. The largest group exhibited stable-low symptoms (52%), a second group showed steep declines following initial symptoms (21%), a third group exhibited increasing symptoms (18%), and a fourth group showed stable-high symptoms (9%). Both hurricane exposure and oil spill stress predicted trajectories and overall levels of PTSD symptoms. Conclusions Results identified an effect of oil spill stress and hurricane exposure on symptom levels and trajectories of exposed youth. Results provide prospective data to support theories of multiple symptom trajectories following disasters and reinforce the importance of research that utilizes a developmental perspective to consider the long-term effects of disasters in youth. Findings highlight the importance of identifying symptoms and predictors of resilience as well as factors that contribute to resilience.
