Associations of pre-hurricane vulnerabilities factors with hurricane attributable Serious Emotional Disturbance (H-SED) according to stress exposure
| OR | (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|
| Group 1 (Low Stress) | ||
| Baseline SED | 4.8 | (0.4-50.1) |
| Pre-Hurricane Functioninga | 2.1b | (1.1-3.9) |
| χ2 2 (p-value) | 10.4 | (.005) |
| Group 2 (Moderate Stress) | ||
| Baseline SED | 4.7b | (1.1-20.3) |
| Pre-Hurricane Functioning | 2.0b | (1.2-3.4) |
| χ2 2 (p-value) | 3.8 | (.001) |
| Group 3 (High Stress) | ||
| Baseline SED | 6.7b | (1.2-36.6) |
| Pre-Hurricane Functioning | 1.0 | (0.6-1.7) |
| χ2 2 (p-value) | 0.3 | (.93) |
Note:
a
Number of domains with fair-poor pre-hurricane functioning (0-5). See the “Method” section for details.
b
Significant at the .05 level, two-sided test
