Articles appeared this weekend in The New York Times and The Washington Post outlining the Academy's new research into the mental health of New York City residents after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The new data will be included in Chapter 7 of a forthcoming book, "Mental Health, United States, 2001," to be published by the U.S. Government Printing Office.
Researchers examined the prevalence of major depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, both one and four months after the attack. The research documented the changes in post-traumatic stress disorder and depression in New York City in the first four months after the attacks.
Authors of the chapter are: Sandro Galea and David Vlahov, of the Academy's Center for Urban Epidemiologic Studies; Joseph Boscarino, of the Academy's Division of Health and Science Policy; and Heidi Resnick, of The National Crime Victims' Research and Treatment Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. The surveys were conducted in collaboration with the New York research firm, Schulman, Ronca and Bucuvalas Inc.
