DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Disasters occur once a day on average in the world. As traumatic events, they are potentially strong stressors due to their disruptive nature, high extent of impact, production of terror and horror scenes, undesirable and uncontrollable occurrences, and prolonged alterations in the social and physical environment. Disaster-related distress and life disruption of even a year or less may negatively affect children. Parental adjustment after a disaster impacts child psychosocial adjustment; however, the social cognitive, coping, and communication processes that interact between parents and children need further study. These processes may be the mediators of post-disaster child psychosocial adjustment, and results can guide the development of child- and family-focused interventions. The aims of this study are to: (1) understand the relations between the post- disaster social cognitive and coping processes of parents and youth over time and how this influences youth psychosocial adjustment; (2) examine what parent-child communicative processes positively and negatively affect youth psychosocial adjustment following a disaster. We will specifically explore the interdependence that parent and child adjustment has on one another. We will survey 410 sets of parents and youth (age 11-17 years) affected by the summer, 2012 and 2013, wildfires in Colorado Springs, CO, three times over a two-year recovery period. In combination, these wildfires threatened the state's second most populated city resulting in the evacuation of 65,000 people, four deaths, and the loss of around 850 homes. We will use internet-based surveys to ask parents and youth about their wildfire exposure, life stressors since the disaster, mental health, covitality, social cognitions, emotion regulation, communication patterns, communal coping, and parent-child relationship. Potential participants will be directed to a recruitment website or 1-800 phone numbers for the study. They will be given a study description, consent forms, and will be asked to provide contact information, basic demographics, and brief screening questions on exposure to the wildfires. A database of potential participants will be set up with potential "replicate" participants in case of non-response. A first sample representative of the demographics of the affected area will be contacted and each potential participant will be provided with an individualized URL for the appropriate survey. Unique, but linked, identifiers will be assigned to parents and youth to protect confidentiality while enabling longitudinal tracking and pairing of data. The relationship between parent and child psychosocial adjustment post-disaster will be analyzed using a parallel process growth mixture model. This complex statistical model simultaneously models the parent and child psychological outcomes and how they unfold together after a disaster, while accounting for trajectory differences that may occur in each one. This model is a combination of two Growth Mixture Models, one for the parents and one for the child. Results can guide public health response in terms of empirically informing post-disaster guidelines and services to help parents help their children.

描述(申请人提供)：全球平均每天发生一次灾害。作为创伤性事件，由于其破坏性、影响程度高、产生恐怖和恐怖场面、不受欢迎和无法控制的发生以及社会和自然环境的长期变化，它们可能是强烈的压力源。与灾难相关的痛苦和生活中断，即使是一年或更短的时间，也可能对儿童产生负面影响。灾难后父母的适应会影响孩子的心理社会适应；然而，父母和孩子之间相互作用的社会认知、应对和沟通过程需要进一步研究。这些过程可能是灾后儿童心理社会适应的中介，结果可以指导以儿童和家庭为重点的干预措施的发展。本研究的目的是：(1)了解父母和青少年在灾后社会认知和应对过程中随时间推移的关系，以及这种关系如何影响青少年的心理社会适应；(2)考察亲子沟通过程对青少年灾后心理社会适应的积极和消极影响。我们将具体探讨父母和孩子适应彼此之间的相互依存关系。我们将调查410对受2012年和2013年夏季科罗拉多州斯普林斯野火影响的父母和青少年(年龄11-17岁)，在两年的恢复期内调查三次。总体而言，这些野火威胁到了该州人口第二多的城市，导致6.5万人疏散，4人死亡，约850座房屋被毁。我们将使用基于网络的调查，询问父母和青少年有关他们的野火暴露、灾难以来的生活压力源、心理健康、共生能力、社会认知、情绪调节、沟通方式、社区应对和亲子关系等方面的情况。潜在参与者将被定向到招聘网站或1-800电话号码进行研究。他们将被给予研究描述、同意书，并将被要求提供联系信息、基本人口统计数据和有关暴露在野火中的简短筛查问题。在没有答复的情况下，将建立一个潜在参与者的数据库，其中包括潜在的“复制”参与者。将联系代表受影响地区人口结构的第一个样本，并将向每个潜在参与者提供适当调查的个性化网址。将为父母和青少年分配唯一但关联的标识符，以保护机密性，同时实现数据的纵向跟踪和配对。采用平行过程成长混合模型分析灾后亲子心理社会适应之间的关系。这个复杂的统计模型同时对父母和孩子的心理结果以及它们在灾难后如何一起展开进行建模，同时考虑到每个结果可能出现的轨迹差异。该模型是两种生长混合模型的组合，一种用于父母，另一种用于孩子。结果可以指导公共卫生响应，为帮助父母帮助孩子的灾后指导方针和服务提供经验信息。
