Challenges and opportunities for using hazard and loss models to inform recovery decision-making after the 2023 severe weather events in New Zealand
Evaluating deep uncertainty tools for complex decision problems
Decision-making methods have been developed to support planning under deep uncertainty, but their suitability for complex decision problems has not been systematically assessed. We define complex decision problems as those in which decision-makers must navigate multiple interacting uncertain conditions and evaluate how interventions perform across these conditions, including potential synergies, trade-offs, and unintended consequences. This paper…
Accounting for economy-wide effects, risk aversion, and inequality aversion in the cost-benefit analyses of extreme events
Methods and lessons for business resilience and recovery surveys
Energy poverty in the Energy Community region
The capacity of the state to develop and implement policy at the complex nexus of energy infrastructure, social inequality and housing is indicative of the political priorities of governing structures and, by extension, the nature of statecraft more generally. We compare and contrast the energy poverty amelioration policies of two former Yugoslav and two post-Soviet states located outside the European Union, but seeking to join its regulatory sph…
Is health and safety legislation an effective tool for disaster risk reduction? A case study from New Zealand
Business recovery from disasters
This paper compares economic recovery in the COVID-19 pandemic with other types of disasters, at the scale of businesses. As countries around the world struggle to emerge from the pandemic, studies of business impact and recovery have proliferated; however, pandemic research is often undertaken without the benefit of insights from long-standing research on past large-scale disruptive events, such as floods, storms, and earthquakes. This paper bui…
Restoration and Renewal Through Sport
Building on the proposal for a ‘culturally sensitive’ framework of resilience, this article explores the construction of resilience at an individual and community level. Through the lens of sport, we explore the relational nature of resilience and its relationship to ideas of morality and community well-being. Using interviews and focus groups conducted across northern Uganda 2018–2020, we engage youth perspectives on resilience or restoration (r…
Problematizing Consent Campaigns in the #Metoo Era
The increasing prevalence of campus sexual assault begs the question of whether consent campaigns, and interventions that preceded them, may be effectively paying lip service to this issue rather that creating meaningful reform. In this paper, we focus on poster campaigns that promote consent as a solution to campus sexual assault. We begin by reviewing the various definitions and critiques of consent. Our sample of 194 posters was obtained throu…
Assessing urban disaster waste management requirements after volcanic eruptions
Disasters can generate substantial quantities of disaster waste that must be managed for effective response and recovery. Modelling the potential quantities and types of waste expected after disasters has been widely applied for a variety of hazards (e.g., earthquake, hurricane, flood, tsunami). However, there has been limited consideration of modelling disaster waste as a result of volcanic eruptions, which can generate considerable disaster was…
Legacies of humanitarian neglect
Research findings question the merits of post-conflict reintegration programmes emphasising immediate family reunifications, without follow-up monitoring, social protection, education and skills training. By overlooking the diverse experiences of those who lived and fought with the LRA, and failing to anticipate or respond to the long term socio-political and economic challenges facing children on their return, reception centre processes not only…
What Happened to Children Who Returned from the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda
In northern Uganda, more than 50,000 people were recruited by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) between the late 1980s and 2004, mostly by force. Around half of those taken were children (under 18 years old). A large number were never seen by their families again, but more than 20,000 returned through aid-financed reception centres. Endeavours were made to reunite them with their relatives, who were mostly living in insecure displacement camps. Re…
Everyday Discrimination Prospectively Predicts Blood Pressure Across 10 Years in Racially/Ethnically Diverse Midlife Women
The current findings suggest that everyday discrimination may contribute to elevated BP over time in U.S. women, in part, through increased adiposity. These findings demonstrate the complexity of the linkage of discrimination to CVD risk and raise the need to closely examine biobehavioral pathways that may serve as potential mediators
Business recovery
This paper presents a Business Recovery Assessment Framework (BRAF) to help researchers and practitioners design robust, repeatable, and comparable studies of business recovery in various post‐disruption contexts. Studies assessing business recovery without adequately considering the research aims, recovery definitions, and indicators can produce misleading findings. The BRAF is composed of a series of steps that guide the decisions that research…
Everyday Discrimination and Metabolic Syndrome Incidence in a Racially/Ethnically Diverse Sample
Everyday discrimination contributes to poorer metabolic health in midlife women in the United States. These findings have clinical implications for the development of MetS and, ultimately, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and intervention strategies to reduce these outcomes
Efficacy of insurance for organisational disaster recovery
Insurance is widely acknowledged to be an important component of an organisation's disaster preparedness and resilience. Yet, little analysis exists of how well current commercial insurance policies and practices support organisational recovery in the wake of a major disaster. This exploratory qualitative research, supported by some quantitative survey data, evaluated the efficacy of commercial insurance following the sequence of earthquakes in C…
Mitigating the stigma of mental illness among older adults living with depression
Stigma continues to be one of the most significant deterrents to professional mental health service utilization. Given the proliferation of older adults who will require mental health services in their lifetime, innovative strategies to mitigate the impact of stigma as a barrier to mental health services are necessary. Contact with other individuals who share a stigmatized condition may be a promising approach to targeting and reducing stigma. Th…

Everyday Discrimination Prospectively Predicts Inflammation across 7‐Years in Racially Diverse Midlife Women
Self-reported discrimination has emerged as a predictor of negative psychological and physical health outcomes across racial/ethnic groups. The goals of this study were to determine whether C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation and risk factor for future cardiovascular disease (CVD) was independently predicted by everyday discrimination or whether race or body mass index (BMI) modified this association over a 7-year period among 2,49…
A community–academic partnership develops a more responsive model to providing depression care to disadvantaged adults in the US
Background: Socioeconomically disadvantaged adults experience greater healthcare disparities and increased risk of depression compared to higher-income groups. Aim: To create a depression care model for disadvantaged adults utilizing service agencies, through a community–academic partnership. Methods: Using participatory research methods, an organizational needs assessment was performed to ascertain depression care needs, identify barriers to cli…
Mental Health Treatment Seeking Among Older Adults With Depression
Attitudes and beliefs about mental health among African American older adults suffering from depression
Depression stigma, race, and treatment seeking behavior and attitudes
This study examined the relationship between internalized and public stigma on treatment‐related attitudes and behaviors in a community sample of 449 African American and white adults aged 18 years and older. Telephone surveys were administered to assess level of depressive symptoms, demographic characteristics, stigma, and treatment‐related attitudes and behaviors. Multiple regression analysis indicated that internalized stigma mediated the rela…
Chronic Exposure to Everyday Discrimination and Coronary Artery Calcification in African-American Women
Chronic exposure to discrimination may be an important risk factor for early coronary calcification in African-American women. This association appears to be driven by exposure to discrimination from multiple sources, rather than exposure to racial/ethnic discrimination alone
Beliefs About Antidepressant Medications in Primary Care Patients
BACKGROUND: Adherence to medication is unacceptably low in both medical and psychiatric disorders. Explanatory models of illness beliefs and behaviors suggest that an individual's beliefs about a disorder and its treatment will influence their adherence. Given that beliefs about medications may influence adherence to antidepressants, we examined beliefs about medications in relation to antidepressant adherence in a primary care sample. OBJECTIVE:…

Is Hume an Internalist
Is Hume an Internalist? CHARLOTTE BROWN INTRODUCTION Should the justification and explanation of morality be sought in the passions and sentiments of human beings? David Hume answered in the affirmative because he thought that only then can we explain how moral concepts and considerations are action-guiding, influencing choice and action. Failure to be persuaded by moral considerations is, Hume claims, not simply a matter of failing to be persuad…
