Disasters affect the school and community microsystems in which children and youth recover. This study explored characteristics of the (school violence, teachers' attitudes) and (neighborhood climate, neighborhood monitoring, community violence) that may affect the disaster exposure and internalizing psychopathology relationship in children and youth 12-27 months after Hurricane Georges hit Puerto Rico. A representative sample (N=1,637) of caregivers and children/youth completed structured interviews in Spanish. Controlling for gender and perception of poverty, for children (age 6-10 years), hurricane exposure increased risk for internalizing psychopathology, but the school and community variables did not have an influence. For all youth (age 11-17 years), witnessing community violence and poor teacher attitudes increased the risk of psychopathology. In addition, neighborhood climate and school violence were moderators. For non-exposed youth, poor neighborhood climate and perceiving greater school violence increased the risk of internalizing psychopathology, whereas for exposed youth it did not.
灾难会影响儿童和青少年从中恢复的学校及社区微观系统。本研究探讨了可能影响乔治飓风袭击波多黎各12至27个月后儿童和青少年灾难暴露与内化心理病理学关系的（学校暴力、教师态度）及（邻里环境、邻里监督、社区暴力）特征。一个由照顾者和儿童/青少年组成的代表性样本（N = 1637）用西班牙语完成了结构化访谈。在控制了性别和对贫困的认知后，对于6至10岁的儿童，飓风暴露增加了内化心理病理学的风险，但学校和社区变量并无影响。对于所有11至17岁的青少年，目睹社区暴力和教师态度不佳会增加心理病理学风险。此外，邻里环境和学校暴力起到了调节作用。对于未暴露的青少年，恶劣的邻里环境和感知到更多的学校暴力会增加内化心理病理学的风险，而对于暴露的青少年则不然。
