Research Project (RP) 3 - Katrina Impacts on Vietnamese Americans in New Orleans (KATIVA NOLA)

摘要 在灾难恢复领域，美国的政策主要侧重于恢复 而不是人的恢复。尽管研究界已经 在考察灾难对个人的影响时，重点往往放在 精神病理影响，如创伤后应激障碍、抑郁和 焦虑，或心身障碍。几乎没有做过什么工作来检查长期的- 灾民恢复的长期弧线，为什么以及如何在不同的国家 不同的亚群，以及可能加速这一进程的干预措施。 本研究，研究项目(RP)3，卡特里娜飓风对生活在 洛杉矶新奥尔良(Kativa NOLA)，利用由以下人员组成的持续灾难队列 第一代越南裔美国移民，他们最初被评估为 一项移民研究--就在卡特里娜飓风前几周。RP3还利用了 补充了另外两个正在进行的队列和两个基础广泛的 卡特里娜@10计划中包含的具有代表性的次要数据。布景 五项研究中有三项得到了支持。 RP3的目标是评估重大灾难的较长期(5-10年)影响 在新移民人口的健康状况上通过使用广泛的物理 并采用纵向研究设计的心理健康测量方法。这一目标将是 通过收集原始队列的后续一轮健康数据来实现 第一代工作年龄越南裔美国新奥尔良人，最初是 在2005年5月至7月期间进行的调查(T0)，就在卡特里娜飓风之前，如 美国国立卫生研究院一项单独的小额赠款的一部分，重点是越南人的健康和福祉 移民。在1年内对该队列进行三次全面的健康重新评估 卡特里娜飓风后(T1)、2年(T2)和5年(T5)是完整的。接下来的一轮 这里提出的研究将发生在卡特里娜飓风过后10年，即2015年秋季 (T10)，并与RP1 RISK和RP2 GCAFH一起使用。对这些数据的分析 将受益于在RP1风险和RP2 GCAFH中包含相同的措施 计划的2015年浪潮，并采用这两项姊妹研究的可比措施 更早的海浪。三个项目的另一个共同核心主题集将是 使用一种不限成员名额的方法进行追查。后一组数据将被用于 一系列贯穿各领域的定性分析。

Abstract Within the realm of disaster recovery, US policy has principally focused on the recovery of place rather than the recovery of person. Although the research community has examined the impact of disasters on individuals, the focus has often been on psychopathological effects, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety, or psychosomatic disorders. Little work has been done to examine the long- term arc of recovery in disaster victims, why and how such recovery varies among various sub-populations, and the interventions that might accelerate that process. This study, Research Project (RP) 3, Katrina Impacts on Vietnamese Americans living in New Orleans, LA (KATIVA NOLA), capitalizes on an ongoing disaster cohort made up of first generation Vietnamese American immigrants, who were initially assessed – as part of an immigration study – just weeks before Katrina. RP3 also capitalizes upon and complements the two other ongoing cohorts and the two broad-based analyses of representative secondary data that are included in this KATRINA@10 Program. The set of five studies is supported by three support cores. The objective of RP3 is to assess the longer term (5-10 years) effects of a major disaster upon the health of a recent immigrant population by employing a wide range of physical and mental health measures in a longitudinal research design. This objective will be accomplished by collecting a subsequent round of health data for the original cohort of first-generation working age Vietnamese-American New Orleanians who were initially surveyed during the period May - July of 2005 (T0), just prior to Hurricane Katrina, as part of a separate NIH small grant focusing on the health and well-being of Vietnamese immigrants. Three comprehensive health re-assessments of this cohort taken at 1 year (T1), 2-years (T2) and 5 years (T5) post-Katrina are complete. The subsequent round for the research proposed here would occur 10 years post-Katrina during the fall of 2015 (T10) and in conjunction with RP1 RISK and RP2 GCAFH. The analyses of these data will benefit from the inclusion of identical measures in RP1 RISK and RP2 GCAFH in our planned 2015 wave, and with comparable measures from these two sister studies from earlier waves. Another common core set of topics across the three projects will be pursued using an open-ended approach. This latter set of data will be exploited for a series of cross-cutting qualitative analyses.
