Broad Impacts (DNORS ANALYSIS)
Lead: Narayan Sastry, Ph.D.
This component analyzes already-collected data from the Displaced New Orleans Residents Study (DNORS), which employs a representative sample of New Orleans’ pre-Katrina population. The aims of this study are to characterize return migration propensities and displacement locations among individuals and families displaced from New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina; describe the prevalence of psychological distress and disparities by factors such as race; and assess the causal effects of residential displacement and relocation on mental health outcomes.
