Abstract
This prospective study investigated the role that life events play in causing emotinal and behavioral problems in a population of 240 primary school children who had recently survived a natural disaster. Life events after the disaster were not found to contribute directly to the number of emotional or behavioural problems when the effect of the disaster was taken into account. This suggested that, in children, life evenst may not have a simple mechanically additive aetiological effect.Keywords
