Abstract:
A number of factors can contribute to youth’s reactions to disasters. These factors can include characteristics of the event; the nature of youth’s exposure; and individual, family, and social predictors. This article describes both outcomes and predictors in order to prepare professionals who might work with youth in post-disaster situations.
