Large scale disasters like the ongoing pandemic, earthquakes, wildfires, flooding, terrorist attacks, armed conflict etc. are common. The long-term health consequences of these traumatic events are well known. This call for papers is for both empirical and theoretical manuscripts focused on new directions in how community disasters influence physical and mental well-being, with attention to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. We welcome papers from a variety of disciplines including sociology, psychology, anthropology, public health, and medicine.
We are interested in manuscripts from multiple disciplines and using multiple methodologies (quantitative and qualitative) that assess how disasters affect health and well-being of special populations like first responders, public safety personnel, healthcare providers, or adolescents and young adults. Additionally, we are interested in research, clinical, or theoretical manuscripts on ways to mitigate the negative consequences of community disasters. We would be interested in new directions in research on factors (especially organizational) that contribute to trauma/stress and poor health outcomes among the groups identified above, again within the context of community disasters and coronavirus. How do compassion fatigue and post-traumatic growth fit in here? What organizational and/or social factors mitigate harm or offer better post-disaster recovery among the above groups?
We are interested in receiving manuscripts that examine new directions in understanding community disasters: what factors contribute to poor outcomes, especially organizational or social factors (race/ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, minority status, etc.) that impact or contribute to health disparities? Manuscripts that present original research, systematic review, community case study, hypothesis and theory, clinical, or methodological innovations are welcome. Manuscripts from psychology, sociology, anthropology, geography, public health and medicine are also welcome.
