Differences in post-disaster mental health among Vietnamese and African Americans living in adjacent urban communities flooded by Katrina.

Some communities recover more quickly after a disaster than others. Some differentials in recovery are explained by variation in the level of disaster-related community damage and differences in pre-disaster community characteristics, e.g., the quality of housing stock. But distinct communities that...
