Resumo(s)
The present study examined survivors’ use and misuse of cigarettes and alcohol following Hurricane
Katrina. We also examined several psychosocial factors that we expected would be associated with
higher or lower rates of substance use following the Hurricane. Participants were 209 adult survivors
of Hurricane Katrina interviewed in Columbia, SC or New Orleans, LA between October 31, 2005
and May 13, 2006. Results revealed that survivors were smoking cigarettes, consuming alcohol, and
experiencing alcohol-related problems at a substantially higher rate than expected based on pre-
Hurricane prevalence data. Results also suggested that certain psychosocial factors were associated
with participants’ substance use and misuse following the Hurricane.
