Portraits of survival. A twenty-year follow-up of the children of Buffalo Creek.

This study is a follow-up of the children of Buffalo Creek "hollow" who survived the dam collapse and flood of 1972. It was conceived as a complement to the 1988 NIMH-funded follow-up investigation of the children of Buffalo Creek conducted by the University of Cincinnati Traumatic Stress Study Center. That 1988 study utilized standardized methodology to assess levels of psychopathology present among those who were children at the time of the 1972 flood.
