在2015年和2016年的几次恐怖袭击之后，建立了一个国家计划，以识别和支持心理健康受到影响的英格兰居民。我们报告该计划的筛选和评估组成部分的结果。有关该方案的文件和信息已邮寄给警方所知的483人和49个家庭。对创伤后应激障碍、焦虑、抑郁、吸烟增加或有问题的饮酒评估呈阳性的个人进行临床评估，并在需要时将其转诊至适当的国民保健服务（NHS）服务。在195名符合条件的人中，有179人（91.8%）在一项或多项措施上呈阳性。在临床评估后，78名成人和3名儿童被转诊接受治疗。该方案在促进获得服务方面取得了广泛成功。然而，大多数直接受到攻击的人没有参与，数据保护问题限制了与受影响者的沟通。对数据保护问题的进一步讨论可能有助于未来的项目更有效地运作。
Following several terrorist attacks in 2015 and 2016, a national program was set up to identify and support residents of England whose mental health had been affected. We report the outcomes of the program's screening and assessment components. Questionnaires and information about the program were mailed to 483 people and 49 families known to the police. Individuals who screened positive on an assessment for posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, increased smoking, or problematic alcohol consumption were offered clinical assessment and referred to an appropriate National Health Service (NHS) service, if required. Of the 195 eligible people who returned our questionnaires, 179 (91.8%) screened positive on one or more measure. Following clinical assessment, 78 adults and three children were referred for treatment. The program was broadly successful in facilitating access to services. However, most people who had been directly exposed to the attacks did not participate and data protection issues limited communication with those who were affected. Further discussion of data protection concerns may help future programs operate more efficiently.
