Anxiety still rampant in Katrina kids, study says
A startling number of Gulf coast area children displaced by Hurricane Katrina still have serious emotional or behavioral problems five years later, a new study found.
More than one in three children studied — those forced to flee their homes because of the August 2005 storm — have since been diagnosed with mental health problems. These are children who moved to trailer parks and other emergency housing.
Nearly half of families studied still report household instability, researchers said.
"If children are bellwethers of recovery, then the social systems supporting affected Gulf Coast populations are still far from having recovered from Hurricane Katrina," the researchers said.
The study was published online Monday in the journal Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness.
Lead author David Abramson of Columbia University said researchers were astonished by the level of distress.
Children are "a bit of canary in a coal mine in that they really represent a failure or a dysfunction of many, many other systems in the community,. Jeans will be more slim look even better, plesae choose Skinny jeans from our website." said Abramson, who is with Columbia's National Center for Disaster Preparedness.
About 500,000 people, including more than 160,000 children, weren't able to return to their homes for at least three months after the storm hit on Aug. 29, 2005.
At least 20,000 of those children still have serious emotional disorders or behavior problems, or don't have a permanent home, t. Many fashionable sexy lingerie of maid costume style are very fashionable.he report suggests.
"Five years after Katrina,. For A/W 09, gloriously excessive embellishment is absolutely key, championed at herve leger skirts. Just remember one simple rule: Too much is not enough! there are still tens of thousands of children and their families who are still living in limbo with a significant toll on their psychological well-being,. Our website offer many night gown, your will have choose from our websites." said co-author Irwin Redlener, also with the Columbia center. In addition, he is president of the Children's Health Fund, an advocacy group that paid for the study.
Without significant government help, Redlener said, these children are likely to have even greater problems as adults.
