Posttraumatic Morbidity Six Years after the Major Disaster Experience during the 2004 Tsunami

Tom Lundin and Kerstin Bergh Johannesson

With the help of personal face-to-face interviews, a study was made of a group of Swedish tsunami survivors (n=21) who were non-bereaved and extremely exposed during the 2004 tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia. They all scored high on IES-22R and GHQ-12 three years post-disaster. The morbidity was very low: one survivor met criteria for PTSD and one for major depression.
