The data discussed in this article were gathered through use of a retrospective cohort survey five years following a major flood in the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania. The subsample of women sixty-five years and older used in this analysis is composed of 122 female victims and forty-five controls from the same communities. The instruments used to measure mental status included Langner's 22-Item Scale, Zung's Self-rating Depression Scale, and a modified Self-Report Symptom Inventory (SCL-90). Additional items related to self-perceptions of health status, to influence of the flood on health and well-being, and to other issues. Significant differences occurred in self-perceptions, including state of mind after the flood ( p &lt; .001), distress during recovery ( p &lt; .001), quality of life after the flood ( p &lt; .001), and frequency of thinking about the flood matters ( p &lt; .025). Use of the instruments designed to assess mental status did not indicate greater levels of anxiety or depression in elderly victims as compared to non-victims.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2190\/qud0-yc8b-pgn8-ry6p","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,3]],"date-time":"2005-05-03T19:28:51Z","timestamp":1115148531000},"page":"27-38","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["The Effect of Disaster on the Health and Well-Being of Older Women"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Mary Evans","family":"Melick","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Office of Mental Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James N.","family":"Logue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1986,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-QUD0-YC8B-PGN8-RY6P","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/j.1326-5377.1976.tb115530.x"},{"key":"bibr2-QUD0-YC8B-PGN8-RY6P","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.133.3.306"},{"key":"bibr3-QUD0-YC8B-PGN8-RY6P","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00332747.1976.11023872"},{"key":"bibr4-QUD0-YC8B-PGN8-RY6P","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.130.6.548"},{"key":"bibr5-QUD0-YC8B-PGN8-RY6P","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2136565"},{"key":"bibr6-QUD0-YC8B-PGN8-RY6P","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0097840X.1980.9934533"},{"key":"bibr7-QUD0-YC8B-PGN8-RY6P","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/18.6.541"},{"key":"bibr8-QUD0-YC8B-PGN8-RY6P","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/15.4.357"},{"key":"bibr9-QUD0-YC8B-PGN8-RY6P","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00048677809159590"},{"key":"bibr10-QUD0-YC8B-PGN8-RY6P","volume-title":"Man and Society in Disaster","author":"Friedsam H.
