Abstract:
Residents near a hazardous waste facility were interviewed about their level of distress and their involvement in a community organization concerned about toxic exposure. Specific beliefs about living near such a facility were related to individual and family distress and to participation in the organization. Implications for research and for clinical practice are discussed.
