在灾害和大规模暴力之后，减轻心理健康问题的社会负担的早期干预措施可能具有极大的价值。基于互联网的干预措施可以广泛、高效和低成本地提供，因此特别令人感兴趣。我们描述了互联网提供的干预措施的开发和可行性分析，旨在解决受灾人群的心理健康和与物质相关的反应。参与者(n=285)是从纽约市地区的一群居民中招募的，这些人在2001年9月1日恐怖袭击后6个月开始进行流行病学研究，并进行了纵向跟踪。干预包括7个模块：创伤后应激/恐慌、抑郁、广泛性焦虑、酒精使用、大麻使用、药物使用和吸烟。可行性数据令人振奋，表明需要进一步评估。
Early interventions that reduce the societal burden of mental health problems in the aftermath of disasters and mass violence have the potential to be enormously valuable. Internet-based interventions can be delivered widely, efficiently, and at low cost and as such are of particular interest. We describe the development and feasibility analysis of an Internet-delivered intervention designed to address mental health and substance-related reactions in disaster-affected populations. Participants (n = 285) were recruited from a cohort of New York City-area residents that had been followed longitudinally in epidemiological research initiated 6 months after the terrorist attacks of September 1.1, 2001. The intervention consisted of 7 modules: posttraumatic stress/panic, depression, generalized anxiety, alcohol use, marijuana use, drug use, and cigarette use. Feasibility data were promising and suggest the need for further evaluation.
