The intense mass media coverage of the Paris terrorist attacks on November 13, 2015 exposed a majority of the French population to the attacks. Prior research has documented the association between media exposure to terrorism and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). The present study replicated and extended these findings in a French sample. A population-based sample (N = 1,760) was drawn from a national web-enabled panel in June 2016. Hours of attack-related media exposure (i.e., TV-watching, viewing internet images, engaging in social media exchanges) in the 3 days following the attacks were assessed. Multivariate regression models, adjusting for gender, age, direct exposure (i.e., witnessing in person or knowing someone injured or killed), residential area, social support, pre-attack mental health service utilization, and other adverse life events, examined the association between media exposure and PTSS (assessed using the self-report PCL-5). Compared to those reporting less than 2 hours of daily attack-related television exposure, those reporting 2–4 hours (β = 3.1, 95% CI = 0.8–5.3) or >4 hours (β = 4.7, 95% CI = 2.0–7.4) of media exposure reported higher attack-related PTSS. This finding was replicated with social media use: those with moderate (β = 3.2, 95% CI = 0.9–5.5) or high (β = 6.8, 95% CI = 1.9–11.7) use reported higher PTSS than those reporting no use. Subanalyses demonstrated that media exposure and PTSS were not associated in those directly exposed to the attacks. Results highlight the potential public health risk of extensive mass media exposure to traumatic events.

Abstract Background During Spring 2019, many regions in Quebec (Canada) experienced severe floods. As much as 5,245 households were flooded and 7,452 persons were evacuated, causing extensive material and human damages. A large population-based study was therefore conducted to examine medium-term effects of this natural disaster on health and well-being. Methods Six to eight months post-floods, households located in the flooded zones (in one of the 6 Quebec regions the most severely affected) were randomly invited to participate to a telephone or a web-based survey (response rate=15.3%). Several psychological health outcomes were examined, including psychological distress (based on the 6-item Kessler Scale, score 0-24) and post-traumatic stress (based on the 15-item Impact of Event Scale, score 0-75). These outcomes were compared among 3 levels of exposure using Chi-square test: flooded (floodwater in ≥ 1 liveable room), disrupted (floodwater in non-liveable areas, loss of utilities, loss of access to services, or evacuation), and unaffected. Results Of the 3,437 participating households, 349 (10.2%) were flooded and 1230 (35.8%) were disrupted (but not flooded) during the 2019 floods. A steep gradient was observed for moderate/severe symptoms of post-traumatic stress (score ≥ 26) according to the level of exposure to flooding (unaffected: 3.0%; disrupted: 14.6%; flooded: 44.1%; p < 0.0005). For psychological distress (score ≥ 7), the baseline level (i.e. unaffected group) was 7.3% while it reached 15.0% and 38.4% in the disrupted and the flooded groups, respectively (p < 0.0005). Conclusions This study is among the largest to examine the psychological impacts of flooding. The magnitude of effects observed in flooded households is consistent with the literature and calls for stronger social and economic measures to support flood victims. Such support should help coping with initial stress, but also alleviating secondary stressors classically observed in post-flood settings. Key messages Psychological impacts of floods may persist for several months and may be observed in both flooded and disrupted people. Stronger social and economic measures are needed to better support flood victims, not only in the short but also in the longer term.
