Extreme Weather & Teen Mental Health

I need a rigorously sourced literature review that traces the chain of consequences from extreme weather events—wildfires, floods, droughts and related hazards—to their ultimate effects on adolescents’ mental health. The review should map how displacement, school closures and damage to power, water, roads and hospitals compound the psychological burden teens carry during and after a disaster. Scope • Start with peer-reviewed journals, authoritative reports and recent conference proceedings; news or social-media content can serve only as supplemental context when academic coverage is thin. • Keep the spotlight on mental-health outcomes in the 12- to 18-year-old bracket. Where possible, distinguish acute reactions (e.g., stress during evacuation) from longer-term trajectories (e.g., depression or post-traumatic symptoms months later). • While the primary method is literature review, feel free to flag key knowledge gaps that could later be explored through interviews or media scraping. Deliverables 1. An annotated bibliography (APA style) with abstracts and quality ratings for each source. 2. A synthesis report (≈ 4,000 words) that: – explains the causal pathway from hazard to mental-health outcome, – highlights consistent findings, contradictions and research gaps, – includes concise tables or diagrams that connect event type, disruption and teen response. 3. A one-page executive summary suitable for decision-makers. Acceptance criteria • Minimum 40 unique peer-reviewed sources dated 2010-present, plus any landmark older studies. • Clear linkage between physical disruption and specified psychological outcomes. • Zero plagiarism; all citations verified. Please outline your proposed structure and expected timeline when submitting your bid.
