We reviewed 17 studies of experiences of African Americans following Hurricane Katrina, with an emphasis on women. We conducted a literature search using major computerized databases, and we crossed-checked references in articles identified. All of the studies were published in peer-reviewed journals between 2006 and 2010. African American women were more likely than others to report that the hurricane experience produced mental health disorders and stress, disrupted social relationships, and strengthened faith and appreciation of families. African American women emphasized the need to preserve cultural memories, and they advocated for support and recovery. We offer suggestions for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers.
我们回顾了17项关于卡特里娜飓风过后非裔美国人经历的研究，重点关注女性。我们使用主要的计算机化数据库进行了文献检索，并交叉核对了所识别文章中的参考文献。所有研究均发表于2006年至2010年期间的同行评审期刊上。与其他人相比，非裔美国女性更有可能报告称，飓风经历导致了心理健康问题和压力，扰乱了社会关系，并增强了对家庭的信念和感激之情。非裔美国女性强调了保存文化记忆的必要性，并倡导提供支持和促进恢复。我们为从业者、政策制定者和研究人员提供了建议。
