title: Katrina@10: Katrina Impacts on Vietnamese Americans in New Orleans (KATIVA NOLA) Subsample, Louisiana, 2005-2019
title: Version 1

description: The NIH-funded Katrina@10 Program consists of an interrelated set of three primary data collection projects that focus on specific sub-populations who were uniquely affected by Hurricane Katrina: households along Louisiana and Mississippi's Gulf Coast, low-income parents from New Orleans, and Vietnamese families living in New Orleans. In addition, the program contains two secondary analyses of data that are more broadly representative of the overall affected population, and three cores (Administrative, Data Collection, Data Management and Dissemination) to support the set of research projects. The following research questions represent the studies together as a whole:

How well does the socio-ecological model of disaster recovery developed by the research team (Abramson et al. 2010) predict recovery across the three cohort studies?
How do trajectories of long-term recovery differ among and within these sub-populations?
How do the trajectories of recovery compare to those of mainstream populations?
How do the effects of predisposing factors (such as poverty) and degree-of-impact (such as flooding depth) vary among the three sub-populations?
How do interpretations of the disaster, resilience, and recovery differ among respondents?
What are the determinants of long-term recovery in domains such as mental and physical health, socio-economic status, and community and social roles? How are these domains related to each other across individuals and across sub-populations?

The Katrina Impacts on Vietnamese Americans in New Orleans (KATIVA NOLA) study was a longitudinal study interested in measuring the impact of Hurricane Katrina on Vietnamese-Americans living in New Orleans. The original sample was taken in summer 2005 and was followed by three rounds of short and medium-term data collection in the 5 years following Katrina. This study measured a variety of outcomes, including physical and mental health, economic stability, housing stability, and social ties, to examine the long-term recovery trajectories of participants.
The data in this collection are from an additional, long-term follow-up survey conducted between 2017 and 2019. A public-use version (DS1) and restricted-use version (DS2) are available. Open-ended responses, continuous respondent age, continuous total household income, and a variable indicating exposure to specific flood events have been masked in the public-use version. These items are available in the restricted-use version.
description: This goal of this study was to measure the long-term recovery trajectories of Vietnamese families living in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina.
The purpose of the overall Katrina@10 project was to analyze three separate studies on sub-populations uniquely affected by Katrina under a single theoretical framework for disaster recovery.
description: The Katrina Impacts on Vietnamese Americans in New Orleans (KATIVA NOLA) study was a longitudinal study surveying a cohort of Vietnamese families at 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years post-Hurricane Katrina to study families' short and medium-term recoveries. An additional follow-up survey was fielded between 2017 and 2019 to study long-term recovery trajectories. In addition to data collection, the KATIVA NOLA project maintained contact with community members through annual Happy New Year cards and other community outreach programs described on the project website.

description: The Katrina@10 study builds from three existing studies, Gulf Coast Child and Family Health Study (GCAFH), Resilience in Survivors of Katrina Project (RISK), and Katrina Impacts on Vietnamese Americans in New Orleans (KATIVA NOLA). Each had a different original sampling strategy that can be found on the project website.
KATIVA NOLA constructed a representative sample of all Vietnamese families living in New Orleans based on an existing, comprehensive, and recently-updated population register of Vietnamese families. The original sample included 125 families.
