Subject: The impact of Hurricane Andrew on two hundred and twelve elementary and middle school children was examined at six months post disaster. Utilizing two self-report instruments, the predictive utility of several hypothesized mediators of children's reactions to disaster was examined. Results showed higher levels of intrusive symptomology for females and for elementary school children as compared with their middle school counterparts. Additionally, multiple regressions revealed that appraisal and life threat were significant predictors of intrusive symptomology. Findings concerning avoidance symptomology are addressed as well as implications for future studies
