Introduction. Weather-related disasters, such as wildfires exacerbated by a rise in global temperatures, need to be better studied terms of their mental health impacts. This study focuses on the sequelae deadliest wildfire California date, Camp Fire 2018. Methods. We investigated sample 725 residents with different degrees disaster exposure and measured using clinically validated scales for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depressive (MDD) generalized anxiety (GAD). Data were...

As climate change accelerates extreme weather disasters, the mental health of impacted communities is a rising concern. In recent study 725 Californians we showed that individuals were directly exposed to California’s deadliest wildfire, Camp Fire 2018, had significantly greater chronic symptoms post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression than control not fires. Here, subsample these individuals: (n = 27), indirectly (who witnessed fire but impacted, n 21), versus age...

Using a stress‐process and attachment theory framework, we identified salient aspects of the parent–adolescent relationship tested extent to which those were longitudinally associated with depression, withdrawal, delinquency, aggressive behavior outcomes among sample high‐risk adolescents ( N = 498). First, four dimensions identified: emotional closeness, communication, autonomy, conflict. Next, latent profile analyses conducted, distinct profiles emerged: secure, avoidant, anxious,...

Abstract Climate trauma refers to the chronic mental health sequalae of climate disaster events. We have previously shown evidence for such with accompanying anxiety and depression symptoms after California’s 2018 Camp Fire wildfire. Here, we investigate whether this also impacts cognitive decision-making its neural correlates. One year wildfire, recruited three groups - those directly exposed ( n = 27), indirectly (community members who witnessed wildfire but not exposed, 21), versus...

This research note applied self-determination theory to the study of social leisure and well-being among collegiate emerging adults. Self-determination posits that individuals seek out environments promote basic psychological needs; these needs is need for relatedness. We examined relationship between engagement (conceptualised as an environment promotes connections others) adults' depressive symptomology. More specifically, we hypothesised this need-supportive would be related higher levels...

Research suggests family-level factors remain an important contributor to emerging adult mental health. Guided by the stress process framework, this study used latent growth curve modeling examine role of parent–child relationships, specifically emotional closeness and conflict, in child self-esteem depression throughout adulthood. Longitudinal associations between were also explored using four waves data from Study Generations ( N = 196 adults; M 20.88 years old at Wave 1). This period was...

Using family systems and attachment theory frameworks, this study identified specific dimensions of the parent–adolescent relationship examined association between those adolescent depression delinquency, parental 2 years later in a racially ethnically diverse sample. Parent–adolescent relationships were using person‐centered approach, latent profile analysis, closeness, communication, conflict, autonomy as relationship. The analysis produced four‐profile solution, which was labeled secure,...

Objectives: This case study examined multi-level social-ecological supports in promoting well-being through college students impacted by one of the deadliest wildfires U.S. history.Participants: College attending a large public university were surveyed (N = 354, Mage 22.7, 76.2% female, 61% white).Methods: Measures included demographics, individual factors (mindfulness, sleep problems), social support (emotional support, family and friendship), sense community. Multiple linear regression...

Few therapists test their assumptions about how they do therapy against what actually do. The purpose of this article is to offer clinicians an evaluation method assess adherence integrative theories therapy, clients respond implementation theories, and ability make track changes during the process evaluation. This produces practice-based evidence. A case study example with three couples used describe use as implemented by first author. Using integrated model was found influence ongoing...

Abstract Background. Weather-related disasters such as droughts and fires accelerated by climate change have led to substantial growth in interest impacted health outcomes. While physical outcomes been studied this context, our understanding of mental is at its infancy. This study focuses on the impacts largest Californian wildfire to-date, Camp Fire 2018. Methods. We investigated a sample 780 residents with different degrees disaster exposure, measured using clinically valid scales for...
