Description

The 9/11 Trauma and Toxicity in Childhood: Longitudinal Health and Behavioral Outcomes Study aims to understand the longitudinal, lifetime effects of 9/11 traumatic and toxic exposures on children’s physical health and behavioral development, as they grow into adulthood. This study follows a cohort of children exposed to 9/11 and assesses the longitudinal health effects of their toxic and traumatic exposures, and examines the interactions of these factors in their development. This will generate valuable information to guide both psychiatric and general medical care for children exposed to 9/11 while providing information relevant for youth exposed to other traumatic events.
