Hi Denny, While hair cortisol has not been used to examine a political event it has been used in other studies. Hair cortisol has been used as an indicator of stress for the last few years, and has on a few occasions been used to look back at the effects of natural disasters: Luo et al. found increased hair cortisol concentrations in victims of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake when compared to non-exposed individuals. O’Brien et al. found that discrimination experiences can lead to elevated hair cortisol in healthy young adults. Hope this answers your question. Thank you so much for your support!!
