2001年9月11日(9/11)恐怖袭击后，住在世贸中心附近的曼哈顿居民可能特别容易患上创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)。2003-2004年间，作者对9/11当天居住在纽约市运河街以南的11,037名成年人实施了创伤后应激障碍检查表。可能的创伤后应激障碍患病率为12.6%，与年龄、女性、西班牙裔种族、低教育和低收入以及离婚有关。受伤、在9/11目睹恐怖和灰尘云暴露会增加患慢性创伤后应激障碍的风险。灾后风险因素包括疏散和救援恢复工作。结果表明，创伤后应激障碍在当地社区是一个持续存在的健康问题。社会经济地位和创伤后应激障碍之间的关系表明，服务必须针对边缘人群。有必要对创伤后应激障碍的病程和长期后果进行追踪。
Manhattan residents living near the World Trade Center may have been particularly vulnerable to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after the September 11, 2001 (9/11) terrorist attacks. In 2003-2004, the authors administered the PTSD Checklist to 11,037 adults who lived south of Canal Street in New York City on 9/11. The prevalence of probable PTSD was 12.6% and associated with older age, female gender, Hispanic ethnicity, low education and income, and divorce. Injury, witnessing horror and dust cloud exposure on 9/11 increase risk for chronic PTSD. Postdisaster risk factors included evacuation and rescue and recovery work. The results indicate that PTSD is a continued health problem in the local community. The relationship between socioeconomic status and PTSD suggests services must target marginalized populations. Followup is necessary on the course and long-term consequences of PTSD.
