by: Gill, D.A., Ritchie, L.A., Picou, J.S., Langhinrichsen-Rohling, J., Long, M.S., and Shenesey, J.W.
Did the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill have similar psychosocial impacts as the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill? The authors answer this question by comparing survey results from a random sample of Cordova, Alaska, residents collected 18 months after the Exxon spill with a random sample of residents in the Alabama coastal counties of Baldwin and south Mobile 1 year after the BP disaster.
