从2001年10月中旬到2001年11月底，我们从三所公立大学的本科生中收集了相当大的问卷（奥尔巴尼，纽约，n = 507，奥古斯塔，GA，n = 336，法戈，ND，n = 526）评估911袭击后急性应激障碍（ASD）的发生率和ASD症状的水平，目前创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的发生率和PTSD症状的水平，以及9月11日袭击造成的抑郁症状的水平。我们还收集了有关媒体对袭击的报道，与世界贸易中心（WTC）及其人员的联系以及参与献血，参加守夜等赔偿行为的程度的信息。我们发现ASD、ASD症状、PTSD和PTSD症状的水平更高，这是地理上接近纽约市（以及在奥尔巴尼地区，学生家的接近程度）和性别的函数。在某些情况下，接触（看电视的时间）是一个预测因素，与世贸中心受害者的联系也是如此。ASD症状是随后PTSD症状的最强预测因子。路径模型占PTSD症状变异的60%以上。(C)2003 Elsevier Ltd.保留所有权利。
From mid-October 2001 through the end of November 2001, we collected fairly large sets of questionnaires from undergraduates at three public universities (Albany, NY, n = 507, Augusta, GA, n = 336, Fargo, ND, n = 526) to assess rate of acute stress disorder (ASD) and level of ASD symptoms following the September 11th attacks, rate of current posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and level of PTSD symptoms, and current level of depressive symptoms resulting from the September 11th attacks. We also gathered information on exposure to media coverage of the attacks, connectedness to the World Trade Center (WTC) and personnel there, and degree of engagement in reparative acts such as giving blood, attending vigils. We found higher levels of ASD, ASD symptoms, PTSD and PTSD symptoms as a function of geographical proximity to New York City (and within the Albany site, proximity of students' homes) and gender. Exposure (hours of TV watched) was a predictor in some instances as was connectedness to WTC victims. ASD symptoms were the strongest predictor of subsequent PTSD symptoms. Path models accounted for over 60% of the variance in PTSD symptoms. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
