Mental Health Vulnerabilities in the Context of Prolonged Blackouts in Cuba
Description
This dataset contains anonymized survey data collected to examine the association between prolonged power outages, blackout-related functional disruption, and mental health outcomes among adults residing in Cuba. The data were collected as part of a cross-sectional observational study addressing electricity access as a social determinant of mental health in a low-resource and infrastructure-strained context. The dataset includes sociodemographic variables, indicators of power outage exposure, indices capturing functional impairment due to blackouts, and standardized measures of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. It is intended for secondary analyses related to mental health, environmental stressors, social determinants of health, and public health research in contexts of infrastructural instability.
