项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from applicant's abstract): Research has demonstrated that children and adolescents who experience natural disasters are at increased risk for the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms or other behavioral problems. Although symptoms of PTSD typically decrease over time, a substantial number of children show longer-term difficulties in adjustment. Some research has indicated that children's negative reactions may become more severe in the year following the disaster. Despite this growing body of literature, little empirical research has investigated how a number of contextual variables may mediate children's responses to traumatic events. The primary purpose of this project is to investigate the impact of an F-3 tornado disaster on the psychological functioning of adolescents and their parents. The first goal of this study is to identify predictors of adolescents' posttraumatic stress symptoms following a natural disaster. The second goal of this study is to identify predictors of adolescents' behavior problems. The third goal is to identify predictors of parent's psychological response to the disaster. In this study, 1,500 adolescents' and their families who were exposed to a severe natural disaster will be surveyed. Severity and degree of disaster exposure, symptoms of PTSD, parent-report of child behavior problems, coping strategies, as well as parent and family functioning will be evaluated. The project will also investigate the bi-directional influence of adolescent's PTSD and behavior problems on parents' PTSD symptomatology. Hypotheses will be tested using linear regression procedures. Findings from this study will provide information critical to the development of more comprehensive treatment interventions and prevention programs for disaster survivors.

描述（改编自申请人摘要）：研究表明遭受自然灾害的儿童和青少年增加患创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的风险症状或其他行为问题。虽然创伤后应激障碍的症状通常随着时间的推移，大量儿童表现出长期的调整的困难。一些研究表明，负面反应可能会变得更加严重，在下一年，灾难尽管有越来越多的文献，研究已经调查了许多上下文变量如何可能介导儿童对创伤事件的反应。该项目的主要目的是调查F-3的影响，龙卷风灾害对青少年心理功能的影响父母本研究的第一个目标是确定青少年在自然灾害后的创伤后应激症状。本研究的第二个目标是确定青少年行为的预测因素。行为问题第三个目标是确定父母的预测因素，对灾难的心理反应。在这项研究中，1,500名青少年及其家人暴露于严重的自然灾害将被调查。灾害的严重性和程度暴露，创伤后应激障碍症状，父母报告的儿童行为问题，应对将对战略以及父母和家庭的作用进行评估。的项目还将调查青少年的双向影响，父母创伤后应激障碍症状的创伤后应激障碍和行为问题。假设将使用线性回归程序进行测试。这项研究的结果将为制定更全面的为灾难幸存者提供治疗干预和预防方案。
