遭受卡特里娜飓风影响的青少年可能会出现不良的社会心理后果。青少年特别容易受到这种自然灾害的影响，并可能因遭受自然灾害而遭受心理疾病和不良健康行为等持久后果。我们回顾了有关自然灾害和类似创伤对青少年的影响的现有文献，以及在没有青少年数据的情况下对成年人的影响的文献。自然灾害的影响从三种负面健康结果的风险角度进行讨论，这三种负面健康结果由于可能导致长期发病而受到特别关注：创伤后应激障碍、物质使用障碍和艾滋病毒风险行为。如果有的话，还包括卡特里娜飓风影响研究的数据。
Adverse psychosocial outcomes can be anticipated among youth exposed to Hurricane Katrina. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to the consequences of this natural disaster and may suffer lasting consequences in the form of psychological morbidity and the development of negative health behaviors due to their exposure. We review existing literature on the effects of exposure to natural disasters and similar traumas on youth and, where data on youth are unavailable, on adults. The effect of natural disasters is discussed in terms of risk for three negative health outcomes that are of particular concern due to their potential to cause long-term morbidity: post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, and HIV-risk behavior. Where available, data from studies of the effects of Hurricane Katrina are included.
