About

This review examines how natural disasters affect young people, focusing on less-studied areas like behavior problems, physical health, and growth after trauma. It describes recent studies that use new methods to understand these effects beyond PTSD. The review suggests exploring how disasters impact children in different ways and using advanced techniques to see how they adjust and grow after such events. The goal is to improve knowledge about the broad impacts of natural disasters on youth health and development.
