Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) are indicated in the treatment of a number of mental health disorders associated with terrorism. 5 We plotted weekly rates of SSRI prescription fills for New York State Medicaid recipients for 2000 and 2001. We determined percentage changes in prescription rates, assessed changes in the slope of the plots before and after September, 2001 by determining the statistical significance of the difference in the regression slope coefficients, and analyzed the weekly time series using Box-Jenkins methodology and interrupted times seriesCompared to the previous 8-month period, for individuals living within 3 miles of the World Trade Center (WTC) site, there was an 18.2% increase in the SSRI prescription rate (p= 0.001), and statistically significant change in the slope of the plot following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (p= 0.01). A 9.3% increase for non-New York City residents was not statistically significant (p= 0.74) nor was the change in the slope of this series significant (p= 0.11). In contrast, there were decreases in SSRI prescription rates for these geographic areas for analogous time periods in 2000.
