Multiple natural disaster exposure was associated with an increased lifetime risk of panic disorder 2.26 (1.11\u20134.61). Among the broader disorder spectrum examined, alcohol abuse disorder accounted for the single greatest increase in lifetime disorder prevalence associated with man-made disaster exposure, and the greatest number of natural or man-made disaster exposed individuals who had developed a lifetime psychiatric disorder. Despite the relatively greater disorder risk associated with man-made disaster, natural disaster exposure was associated with more cases of psychiatric disorder, likely due to the frequency with which these events occur in Australia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S2045796017000531_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Notwithstanding the inability to draw causal inferences from cross-sectional survey data, population-based analyses provide a comprehensive and consistent method to ascertain the population imprint of psychiatric disorder and disaster exposure. Mental health policy and services should be targeting a range of psychiatric disorders in disaster contexts in addition to the usual focus on PTSD and depression, including alcohol abuse, panic disorder and OCD. Despite the relatively greater disorder risk associated with man-made disaster exposure, the national burden of psychiatric disorder in natural disaster contexts is particularly high.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s2045796017000531","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,27]],"date-time":"2017-09-27T08:24:48Z","timestamp":1506500688000},"page":"310-320","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Psychiatric epidemiology and disaster exposure in Australia"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"L.","family":"Reifels","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Mills","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
