About The Study: This study found that, in U.S. adults, disaster-induced displacement from home was associated with increased odds of depression and anxiety symptoms, with the highest odds among those who never returned home. There is an urgent need to address mental health care for populations displaced by natural disasters, particularly socially vulnerable populations.
