Description

This research study evaluated the impact of Hurricane Katrina on individuals with disabilities and individuals with diabetes. We examined the disruptions in their lives, and the difficulties they encountered reestablishing services and supports. Data suggests that the participants still struggled to gain a sense of stability nearly four years post-disaster.
