The World Trade Center Health Registry was established in 2002 at the New York City Health Department to track the short- and long-term physical and mental health effects of the 9/11 World Trade Center disaster and identify gaps in health care for those affected. As the largest post-disaster registry in U.S. history, the Registry conducts periodic health surveys among its over 71,000 responder and survivor enrollees as well as in-depth studies among enrollee sub-cohorts. Findings from Registry research, disseminated via scientific publications and presentations, inform 9/11-related health policy and future disaster preparedness and response. Contributing researchers will:
- Utilize the abundant data resources we have collected since 2002, including five longitudinal health surveys and in-depth studies covering diverse topics.
- Bring subject/methods expertise to our research areas of interest.
- Collaborate or provide input on planned 9/11-related studies.
