Health and Social Consequences
[ Back to Findings ]- Children and young people - emotional expression
- Self reported health/mental health
- Roles – controlling emotion
- Occupational role changes
- Long Term Social Consequences of the FMD crisis
In this section we highlight what respondents have told us specifically about their health, health related matters, health of family members over the duration of the study. (Themes discussed above are of course relevant here too, such as the ongoing anxieties about living near mass disposal sites). Here we also draw out role changes accelerated or affected by the FMD crisis, particularly in relation to gender. Reflecting the theme of the inter-relatedness of rural work, social and personal networks, that which we introduced at the beginning of this section, we consider how change and uncertainty may have multiple and potentially long term social impacts on rural communities.
