Description
Mickaela Reed and JoNell Strough studied anxiety and depression in older adults after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, in this 2023 paper. Disasters leave lasting mental scars, but how age and past trauma shape that harm was less clear. The team drew on two theories of aging and emotion to frame their questions.
The study used a phone survey of 2,508 Gulf Coast residents, with an average age near fifty-eight. The survey covered past trauma, exposure to the spill, and current well-being. The authors tested whether trauma history and spill exposure changed the way age related to anxiety and depression, while accounting for income, schooling, race, and gender. They discuss what the patterns mean for planning help after future disasters.
