Side messages, side effects
As infectious diseases spread, governments and specialised agencies typically release a main message conveying the recommended preventive action, accompanied by side messages justifying the action. In this study, we explored how side messages influence intentions to engage in infection prevention behaviours, attitudes toward people who do versus do not support infection prevention measures, and evaluations of the poster. We conducted three repeat…
Factors ensuring healthy work environments for municipal office workers in the disaster area after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident
Previous research has explored the direct impacts of disasters on disaster responders and the factors contributing to their resilience; however, the effects of disasters on responders can persist over the medium to long term. In Japan, municipal office workers play a central role in addressing emergencies during disasters. In the case of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, over a decade after the disaster, the persistent issue of …

Disaster Resilience Reduces Radiation-Related Anxiety Among Affected People 10 Years After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident
This study examined whether disaster resilience affects the recovery of mental health states and mitigates psychosocial anxiety 10 years later the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. The survey was conducted in Fukushima's evacuation-directed and non-evacuation-directed areas in January 2020. The 695 participants responded to a questionnaire including items on radiation-related anxiety regarding the Fukushima Daiichi accident, an acti…

The Association between Parenting Confidence and Later Child Mental Health in the Area Affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster
After the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident, the Fukushima Health Management Survey was conducted to assess children's lifestyle and mental health conditions. The participants in this study were 1126 children, aged 0 to 3 years, living in the evacuation zone at the time of the disaster. The parenting confidence of their mothers was assessed using a self-administered questionnaire as a baseline in 2013. We examined the associat…
May risk communication with non-experts contribute to post-disaster restoration of normalcy? A survey on the disaster-struck prefectures after the Great East Japan Earthquake
Post-disaster risk communication's primary goal is to restore a sense of normalcy for residents who have faced hardships. The Fukushima and Miyagi prefectural residents who experienced severe damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake were the participants (men = 257, women = 296, age = 58.40 ± 14.85) of this study, which investigated a mediation model of effective risk communication on restoring a sense of normalcy. The characteristics of risk …
Associations of the Covid-19 pandemic with the economic status and mental health of people affected by the Fukushima disaster using the difference-in-differences method
Although the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and relevant preventive measures can affect the economic status and mental health of the public, their effect remains unraveled owing to a limited number of surveys conducted before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated the association of COVID-19 and relevant measures with multivariate outcomes among people affected by the Fukushima disaster in 2011 using the difference-in-dif…
Traditional Gender Differences Create Gaps in the Effect of Covid-19 on Psychological Distress of Japanese Workers

To assess whether these effects are amplified by the gender bias that exists in Japan, we examined male and female worker's psychological distress and difficulties during the pandemic. An online "COVID-19-related difficulties" questionnaire, based on item response theory, gathered responses from 3464 workers in O…
