To investigate the long-term influence of disaster exposure, parent-child relationship quality (PCRQ), and gender on child and youth physical health.
Parent-child dyads (N = 1,886) were randomly selected and interviewed approximately 18 months after Hurricane Georges hit Puerto Rico (1998), and reinterviewed 12 months later. The outcome variables were parent report of a global rating of children's physical health, and frequency of medical problems and medical visits in the past year.
Conservative analyses that accounted for a host of postdisaster health-relevant factors showed that hurricane exposure exerted detrimental influence on physical health at both 18 and 30 months after the event. The moderating role of PCRQ in the relation between hurricane exposure and physical health varied by gender.
Disasters have long-term potential to influence the physical health of children and adolescents. PCRQ serves as resource but its role in the context of disasters is complex.
探讨灾难暴露、亲子关系质量（PCRQ）及性别对儿童和青少年身体健康的长期影响。
随机选取亲子二元组（N = 1886），在乔治飓风袭击波多黎各（1998年）约18个月后进行访谈，并在12个月后再次访谈。结果变量包括家长对孩子整体身体健康状况的报告，以及过去一年中医疗问题和就医次数。
考虑了一系列灾后健康相关因素的保守分析表明，飓风暴露在事件发生后的18个月和30个月均对身体健康产生了不利影响。PCRQ在飓风暴露与身体健康关系中的调节作用因性别而异。
灾难长期来看有可能影响儿童和青少年的身体健康。PCRQ是一种资源，但其在灾难背景下的作用较为复杂。
