“…Our study reinforces other analyses of the DHOS of shorter duration. 30,31,38 For example, Hansel et al assessed recovery in 314 Gulf Coast residents in the first year following the DHOS (2010-2011) and again just after the second anniversary (2012). Using the same measure of depression we did, they found that depression scores between the 2 time periods remained largely unchanged.…”

“…14,15 Several factors have been proposed that may have acted as potential buffers to a psychological effect of the event in the general population; centrally, there were minimal spill-related injuries and mortality, disruptions to vital services, and long-term economic impacts. 16 However, there was substantial variability in post-spill mental health, with residents who experienced higher levels of physical exposure to oil during the oil spill or experiencing large financial impact at greater risk of adverse outcomes.…”

Summary Background Adverse mental health effects were reported following oil spills but few studies identified specific responsible attributes of the clean-up experience. Methods We evaluated the impact of multiple oil spill response and clean-up (OSRC) exposures following the Deepwater Horizon disaster on the mental health using data from the GuLF STUDY which includes 8,968 workers and 2,225 non-workers who completed an exam with depression and post-traumatic stress (PTS) screeners. Findings OSRC work was associated with increased prevalence of depression, PRDepression=1·22 (1·08, 1·37) and PTS, PRPTS =1·35 (1·07, 1·71). Among workers, those who reported smelling oil, dispersants or cleaning chemicals had an elevated prevalence of depression, PRDepression=1·58 (1·38, 1·81) and PTS, PRPTS=2·29 (1·71, 3·07). Other factors associated with depression and PTS included stopping work because of the heat (PRDepression=1·36 [1·22, 1·52] and PRPTS =1·41 [1·14, 1·74]) and working as a commercial fisherman prior to the spill (PRDepression=1·36 [1·19, 1·56]; PRPTS =1·86 [1·46, 2·38]). Increasing exposure to total hydrocarbons (TH) appeared associated with depression and PTS but after taking into account work experiences, only the association between the highest TH level and PTS remained, PRPTS=1·75 (1·11, 2·76). Interpretation Workers with high levels of TH exposure or potentially stressful work experiences had increased prevalence of depression and PTS.

A number of governmental agencies have called for enhancing citizen’s resilience as a means of preparing populations in advance of disasters, and as a counter-balance to social and individual vulnerabilities. This increasing scholarly, policy and programmatic interest in promoting individual and communal resilience presents a challenge to the research and practice communities: to develop a translational framework that can accommodate multi-disciplinary scientific perspectives into a single, applied model. The Resilience Activation Framework provides a basis for testing how access to social resources, such as formal and informal social support and help, promotes positive adaptation or reduced psychopathology among individuals and communities exposed to the acute collective stressors associated with disasters, whether manmade, natural, or technological in origin. Articulating the mechanisms by which access to social resources activate and sustain resilience capacities for optimal mental health outcomes post-disaster can lead to the development of effective preventive and early intervention programs.

Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) One Year Following the Gulf Coast Oil Spill: Alabama and Mississippi, 2011

Abstract: Overall, mental health symptoms were higher in the three assessment areas compared to BRFSS reports, but lower than 2010 surveys. These results suggest that mental health services are still needed, particularly in households experiencing decreased income since the oil spill.
