This chapter reviews childrenâs reactions to natural disasters and the factors which influence those reactions. Commonly-studied post-disaster outcomes in children include posttraumatic stress disorder, posttraumatic stress reactions, anxiety, depression, behavior problems, and substance use, and an emerging literature describes posttraumatic growth. In addition to exposure, a number of individual, family, and social factors influence childrenâs reactions and recovery. Given that children have been identified as a vulnerable population in the context of disasters, systematic public health preparedness and response efforts as well as clinical services should address their special needs.
