This study aimed to examine a range of factors influencing the long-term recovery of New York City residents affected by Hurricane Sandy.
In a series of logistic regressions, we analyzed data from a survey of New York City residents to assess self-reported recovery status from Hurricane Sandy.
General health, displacement from home, and household income had substantial influences on recovery. Individuals with excellent or fair health were more likely to have recovered than were individuals with poor health. Those with high and middle income were more likely to have recovered than were those with low income. Also, individuals who had not experienced a decrease in household income following Hurricane Sandy had higher odds of recovery than the odds for those with decreased income. Additionally, displacement from the home decreased the odds of recovery. Individuals who applied for assistance from the Build it Back program and the Federal Emergency Management Agency had lower odds of recovering than did those who did not apply.
The study outlines the critical importance of health and socioeconomic factors in long-term disaster recovery and highlights the need for increased consideration of those factors in post-disaster interventions and recovery monitoring. More research is needed to assess the effectiveness of state and federal assistance programs, particularly among disadvantaged populations. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2018;12:172-175).
本研究旨在探讨一系列影响受桑迪飓风影响的纽约市居民长期恢复情况的因素。
在一系列逻辑回归分析中，我们分析了一项针对纽约市居民的调查数据，以评估自我报告的从桑迪飓风中恢复的状况。
总体健康状况、离开家园以及家庭收入对恢复情况有重大影响。健康状况良好或中等的个体比健康状况差的个体更有可能已恢复。高收入和中等收入者比低收入者更有可能已恢复。此外，在桑迪飓风后家庭收入未减少的个体比收入减少的个体恢复的几率更高。另外，离开家园会降低恢复的几率。申请“重建家园”计划和联邦紧急事务管理局援助的个体比未申请者恢复的几率更低。
该研究概述了健康和社会经济因素在长期灾难恢复中的至关重要性，并强调在灾后干预和恢复监测中需要更多地考虑这些因素。需要开展更多研究来评估州和联邦援助计划的有效性，尤其是在弱势群体中。（《灾难医学与公共卫生防范》。2018年；12：172 - 175）
