Understanding resilience attributes for children, youth, and communities in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill study, Wave 2, southeast Louisiana, 2016

In 2014 the Columbia University National Center for Disaster Preparedness surveyed 720 households in southeastern Louisiana. The aim was to assess the social and public health impacts of the Deepwater Horizon disaster on families and children and to examine characteristics related to social resilience/vulnerability. This dataset is a follow-up survey with the same households in 2016 with a total of 482 of those households who agreed to follow-up and were reached again. Questions asked to respondents deal with exposure to the spill, health effects to the adult, health effects to the child, risk behaviors, academic effects, sense of community, family relationships, trust in information sources, moderators and cumulative trauma, compensation from the spill, and demographics.
