Isolation, Economic Precarity, and Previous Mental Health Issues as Predictors of PTSD Status in Females Living in Fort McMurray During Covid-19

Further studies are needed to explore robust risk factors of low resilience and measures to promote normal to high resilience amo…

During major disasters, communities’ infrastructure is disrupted, and psychological, economic, and environmental effects are felt fo…
