This study will employ a multi-level approach to study clinical, psychosocial, neuroendocrine, genotypic, gene-environment interaction, and molecular factors associated with PTSD risk and resilience in a sample of 500 WTC responders. The study will provide important information about the risk and resilience factors for PTSD in disaster responders and make possible the development of improved preventive and treatment interventions for this disorder in disaster responders and trauma-exposed individuals in general.
