摘要
背景:长期暴露于气候压力对低收入家庭的影响不成比例;然而,在低资源环境中,气候脆弱青少年的心理健康和气候困扰水平很少被探索。我们调查了洪水暴露增加与青少年心理健康、气候窘迫和时间贴现(长期规划能力)之间的关系。方法:在这项横断面混合方法研究中,我们进行了调查,以评估焦虑和抑郁症状、时间折扣和气候窘迫。我们调查了来自孟加拉国达卡(低洪水风险地区)和孟加拉国巴里萨尔(高洪水风险地区)低收入家庭的1200名15-18岁青少年。我们还在这两个地区的青少年中进行了16次焦点小组讨论。研究结果:在2023年8月7日至12月15日期间,Barisal生活在高洪水暴露下的青少年出现焦虑症状的几率显著增加(调整后的优势比1.94 [95% CI 1.41 -2·65])。解释:低收入环境中易受洪水影响的青少年中焦虑和抑郁症状的患病率增加可能与可能威胁其气候变化适应能力的时间折扣行为有关。资助:斯坦福大学医学院、伍兹环境研究所、弗里曼·斯波格利国际研究所以及美国国家地理学会。
Adolescent psychological health, temporal discounting, and climate distress under increased flood exposure in Bangladesh: a mixed-methods cross-sectional study
Background
Chronic exposure to climate stress disproportionately affects low-income households; however, the psychological health and climate distress levels of climate-vulnerable adolescents in low-resource settings has rarely been explored. We investigated the association between increased flood exposure and adolescent psychological health, climate distress, and temporal discounting (long-term planning capacity).
Methods
In this cross-sectional, mixed-methods study, we administered surveys to assess symptoms of anxiety and depression, temporal discounting, and climate distress. We surveyed 1200 adolescents aged 15–18 years from low-income households in Dhaka, Bangladesh (a low-flood-risk location) and Barisal, Bangladesh (a high-flood-risk location). We also conducted 16 focus group discussions among adolescents across both regions.
Findings
Between Aug 7 and Dec 15, 2023, adolescents living under higher flood exposure in Barisal had significantly greater odds of anxiety symptoms (adjusted odds ratio 1·94 [95% CI 1·41–2·65], p<0·0001) and depressive symptoms (3·52 [1·94–6·40], p<0·0001) relative to those under low flood exposure in Dhaka. Adolescents experiencing anxiety symptoms had significantly greater odds of exhibiting temporal discounting (2·00 [1·16–3·45], p=0·013). Our focus group discussions suggest pathways by which cognitive overload during extreme floods contribute to adolescent preferences against long-term flood adaptation planning.
Interpretation
An increased prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among flood-vulnerable adolescents in low-income settings might be related to temporal discounting behaviour that could threaten their climate change resilience.
