Abstract

In this study we hypothesized that the residents in the disaster-exposed group would experience higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder compared to those in the non-disaster group. Furthermore, this would result in an increased need for health-related welfare in the disaster-exposed group. Our data supports both hypotheses, and these research findings are consistent with a growing body of research that supports such a conclusion.
