birth rate in 1968, 2 years after the disaster, increased significantly from 14.38 to 20.80. A survey conducted by the BMJ found that the number of children killed in the disaster had been replaced and when this had occurred, the birth rate fell back down and remained similar to the pre-disaster birth rate. The replacement of dead children can leave 'the new sibling' feeling suffocated and overprotected. This an lead to schizophrenia and a number of psychological problems. Alcohol and marital problems occurred as survivors attempted to deal with the traumatic event. Families that lost fathers lost the breadwinner of the family. 49% of Aberfan survivors have suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Most of the population of Aberfan were later using sedatives, but did not take them regularly
