Short-term, mid-range and long-term psychological evaluation of earthquake survivors reveals that certain psychiatric symptoms frequently exist in these populations, specifically PTSD and Depression. The principal objectives of this work were to address current gaps in scientific knowledge related to potential relationships between specific pre, peri and post-traumatic variables and the development of posttraumatic psychopathology in vulnerable groups following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Study no 1- Objective : This study examines associations between religious beliefs regarding the origin of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and posttraumatic symptomatology as well as resilience among survivors. The severity of depressive symptoms was associated with a score <80 on the CD-RISC (x2 = 7.49, df = 1,p <0.01) and were more prevalent among Voodoo Adherents than among their counterparts with different belief systems (x2 = 9.05, df = 1, p <0.01).Study no 2- Objective : This study, conducted one year after the 2010 earthquake, assessed the effect of a psycho-social intervention implemented among children residing in a displacement camp in Port-au-Prince compared with a control group. The two groups were homogeneous in terms of the intensity of the peritraumatic distress they experienced. No significant difference was noted between the experimental and control group in their endorsement of PTSD symptoms or in their scores on a depression scale. In three out of the four sub-scales of the Child Behavior Check-List, there was no significant difference noted either. Study no 3- Objective : In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of a Haitian Creole version of the PTSD checklist among 364 mothers exposed to the 2010 earthquake and the prevalence of PTSD symptoms among them, 3 years after the event. Our findings included that 22,3% of our sample would possibly meet the criteria for PTSD even three years after the earthquake. The creole version of PCL-S is a reliable measure of PTSD symptoms among female creole speakers. Study no 4- Objective : This study investigated the prevalence of autistic behaviors in a cohort of young children (n-364) who were exposed in utero to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, 3 years after theevent. A significant minority (2.2%) of our sample met criteria for severe autistics behaviors. Study no 5- Objective : This study, conducted 3 years after the 2010 Haiti earthquake targeted women who were pregnant during the earthquake and their offspring who were in utero at the time of the event. Specifically, the study assessed the association between maternal exposure to the earthquake with autistic, behavioral, and emotional symptoms of the offspring at age three. Current maternal PTSD symptoms was an independent predictor of the offspring’s autistic behaviors (=. 370, p<. 001) as well as behavioral and emotional problems (=. 467, p<. 001). Study no 6- Objective: This study comprised a qualitative analysis of a single mother and child dyadscreened in the quantitative survey. In addition to displaying symptoms of autism, the young child also suffers from recurrent seizures. Maternal history of physical and psychological trauma has implications forco-morbidity of autism and epilepsy offspring who were in utero at the time of the trauma and such dyadsshould be targeted for therapeutic intervention and follow-up in the future.
